Provide access to affordable long-term rental space to service providers that might not otherwise be able to afford to operate in this community due to high market rental costs. The organizations renting space in the community center are specifically chosen to complement each other and to provide affordable access to childcare, education, and health/wellness services all in one convenient location in the community. The center negotiates use of the facility from the city of goleta and strives to provide rents that are both affordable and consistent year after year.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 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 $725k to $925k (+27%).
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.
24% of GOLETA VALLEY COMMUNITY CENTER’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (100% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
