Programs
On its FY2025 return the organization reported starting a significant new program and a significant change in how it conducts a program.
In 2025, the organization began a new wildfire recovery and rebuilding program under its DBA, Altadena CDC, focused on the Rebuild Altadena Pilot Project. The program supports community recovery, rebuilding readiness, housing stabilization, anti-displacement, and long-term resilience following the Altadena wildfire. The work was supported by funding administered through the California Department of Housing and Community Development.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 2).
During 2025, the organization expanded its program focus to include wildfire recovery, rebuilding readiness, housing stabilization, and community resilience work in Altadena under the DBA Altadena CDC. The organization continued limited maternal and generational health planning activities while preparing for implementation of the Rebuild Altadena Pilot Project.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 3).
Program Service 1 - Maternal and Generational Health Initiative (Year 2 of 3 Grant, California Community Foundation). In 2025, Compton Community Development Corporation continued planning and implementation-readiness activities for its Maternal and Generational Health Initiative. The organization maintained the program framework developed in 2024 and continued limited planning, coordination, administrative support, vendor support, communications, and infrastructure work connected to improving maternal, postpartum, and generational health outcomes. Program activity during 2025 was focused primarily on sustaining the initiative, preserving partnerships, and preparing for future implementation.
$20,388 spent99% of program spendingebuild Altadena Pilot Project / Altadena Wildfire Recovery. In 2025, Compton Community Development Corporation, doing business as Altadena CDC, began wildfire recovery and rebuilding readiness work for the Altadena community. The organization received a legislatively directed state allocation administered through the California Department of Housing and Community Development to support the Rebuild Altadena Pilot Project. Because the funds were received near year-end, 2025 activities focused primarily on initial project planning, recovery coordination, implementation readiness, stakeholder engagement, and preparing systems to support rebuilding, housing stabilization, anti-displacement, and long-term community resilience. Most project funds remained unspent at year-end for implementation in 2026.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2024 to 2025, from $118k to $5.1M (+4205%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2025 100%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
100% of Compton Community Development Corporation’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (61% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves

Who funds it, year by year
2020 → 2021: the base broadened from 1 funder to 2 funders, grant income rose $300k → $6.6M.
1 of 3 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 2% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of Compton Community Development Corporation’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
Compton Community Development Corporation leans on a few funders — its largest provides 97% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
100% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund Compton Community Development Corporation.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 100% · 2021 98% — broadly stable.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
Compton Community Development Corporation draws 99% of its grant income from funders outside California, across 2 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $138k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Against its field
Compton Community Development Corporation's funding base is broadening — from 1 funders to 2 as grant income climbed.
