What Crop Organization does
Mission
Crop aims to reduce recidivism and create economic opportunity for those who have been formerly incarcerated by providing integrated housing solutions, personal leadership investment, and workforce programming. (continued on schedule o)crop was awarded workforce and housing grants from the state of california to launch a three-year pilot program called ready 4 life. This 12-month career development program equips justice-involved people with the tools they need for success in tech-focused careers along with holistic wraparound care. In addition to ready 4 life, crop is focused on in-prison programming, employer development, and policy. Crop brings innovative initiatives to scale and is establishing a blueprint for successful reentry.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.

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 2021 to 2022, from $1.2M to $22M (+1797%).
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: 2022 53% · 2023 75% · 2024 73%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
91% of CROP ORGANIZATION’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (93% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 5 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2021 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 6 funders, grant income rose $36k → $687k.
6 of 11 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 12% 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 CROP ORGANIZATION’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
CROP ORGANIZATION leans on a few funders — its largest provides 40% of grant income and the top three 82%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
Largest funder’s share by year: 2021 100% · 2022 32% · 2023 73% — diversifying over time.
“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
82% of CROP ORGANIZATION's grant income comes from California funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $394k arriving through sponsors registered in 5 states 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.
