Programs
SHARE! Self-Help Centers: SHARE! Culver City and SHARE! Downtown Los Angeles are centers where a large community of self-help groups meet each week, addressing all kinds of issues, e.g., anger management, health, depression, self-esteem, relationships, childhood abuse, substance abuse, reaching goals, etc. Together the centers host more than 100 weekly meetings with monthly attendance of 5,000 people. SHARE! accepts brochures and flyers for distribution at its centers, so agencies and others can reach the self-help community. SHARE has lots of volunteer opportunities for people including those doing court-ordered community service. SHARE accepts all volunteers even those with limited skills or felony convictions.
$1,173,752 spent17% of program spendingSHARE! Collaborative Housing: A public-private partnership providing immediate, affordable, permanent supportive housing to disabled people in single-family houses throughout Los Angeles County. People with similar issues, such as veterans, mental health consumers, people with diabetes, trauma issues, etc. live like college roommates in the house which is furnished down to knives, forks and spoons. The homeowner furnishes the house, pays for all the utilities, does not collect a security deposit, nor a last month's rent and does not perform a credit or background check. The houses are regularly inspected to ensure quality, and SHARE! helps the owner with any issues or problems that arise. Residents attend weekly self-help support groups, help with neighborhood projects, provide support for other residents and share a room with one roommate of their choice. Residents pay rent from their disability checks or other income directly to the owner. Many owners will take pets.
$4,844,639 spent70% of program spendingSHARE! Self-Help Clearinghouse for Los Angeles County: Countywide referrals to 12,000 self help meetings representing 750 different life-issues. Our information is updated often, as self-help groups tend to move around and come and go. We give meetings technical assistance, including best practices. We help with meeting formation, content, format, publicity, problems, etc. We also have leads on meeting space throughout the County.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 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 2023 to 2024, from $5.3M to $3.3M (−38%).
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: 2017 91% · 2018 88% · 2019 91% · 2020 66% · 2021 88% · 2022 85% · 2023 79% · 2024 77% · 2025 77%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
87% of EMOTIONAL HEALTH ASSOCIATION’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (51% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2018 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 5 funders, grant income rose $500 → $86k.
3 of 11 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 77% 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 EMOTIONAL HEALTH ASSOCIATION’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 9 of 11 funders by total. 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
EMOTIONAL HEALTH ASSOCIATION leans on a few funders — its largest provides 76% of grant income and the top three 97%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
98% 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 EMOTIONAL HEALTH ASSOCIATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 100% · 2019 100% · 2020 54% · 2021 81% · 2022 92% · 2023 58% — 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.
How long its funders stay
50% of EMOTIONAL HEALTH ASSOCIATION's funders are still giving 2 years after their first grant; 64% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
77% of EMOTIONAL HEALTH ASSOCIATION's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $195k that is directly attributable, 87% of it comes from California funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $647k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 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.
Against its field
EMOTIONAL HEALTH ASSOCIATION has grown faster than half of the 4,665 health nonprofits its size.
