What Evolve a Community Organization does
Mission
The specific purposes of this corporation are to promote social welfare in the areas of education, equality, environment, energy, and economics by educating the public and public officials regarding community issues and policies, promoting projects that are beneficial to the community, promoting the adoption or rejection of legislation, including measures on the ballot, and generally pursuing programs and activities that involve improvement of the quality of life of average working families in the community.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Program
In 2025 we had two major areas of focus. The first was educating the public on the continued underfunding of California public schools. We organized dozens of actions with college students and our members at farmers markets, street fairs, college campuses and other public places to raise awareness about the lack of education funding in California. This was done to build public support for future policy work. The second, was expanding our recruitment efforts at multiple campuses across the Bay Area to increase the diversity of our college internship program. We also enhanced the number and quality of the workshops that we offer our interns as well as diversified the types of opportunities our students receive to practice the organizing skills we teach them.

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 2022 to 2023, from $40k to $67k (+68%).
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.
100% of Evolve a Community Organization’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (77% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
Grant support over time, funder by funder — shade shows the grant size each year.
1 of 1 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% 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 Evolve a Community 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.
Where its funders are
100% of Evolve a Community Organization'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. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $9k 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.
