What Green Wave Enterprises does
Mission
Education through coaching and consulting services, events, and through our fiscally sponsored projects and organizations that are in alignment with our mission.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990-EZ.
Programs
Wild sun rescue:in 2024 over 140 biology, pre-veterinary interns, volunteers and vets were educated and trained. Orphaned and injured animals were rescued; caring for 80 animals with 26 released to their natural habitat. We partnered with world parrot trust to place 10 artificial macaw nest boxes into the community. Green wave's "permaculture party club" completed one year of a weekly youth mentorship after-school program. We celebrated over 100 episodes of farm talk friday which was shared with thousands of viewers educating them about permaculture.
$0 spentKmr:we are proud that in 2024 we were able to expand the kmr with 124 acres. We brought up to 80 local students and some teachers for an overnight environmental education program. It is a critical goal of ours to teach young people the importance of taking care of our natural resoures.
$0 spentFuturo verde:we are a bilingual pre-k to ib world school with a dedicated, supportive, and humanist community that strives to peacefully promote a harmonious world. We ended our 2023-2024 year with a positive fiscal surplus which allowed us to make significant investments in our campus. We dramatically improved our three secondary classrooms by expanding them and adding new roofs, ventilation windows and ac. Our new gardens are flourishing and our eco-management strategy of composting and using leaf litter for our old trees is working wonderfully.
$0 spent
The 3 programs described on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ. Program spending in total: $0.
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 2020 to 2021, from $35k to $170k (+379%).
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.
97% of GREEN WAVE ENTERPRISES’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (92% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 8 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
2018 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 3 funders, grant income rose $5k → $33k.
4 of 7 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 95% 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 GREEN WAVE ENTERPRISES’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
GREEN WAVE ENTERPRISES leans on a few funders — its largest provides 67% of grant income and the top three 95%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
95% 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 GREEN WAVE ENTERPRISES.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 100% · 2020 100% · 2021 82% · 2022 85% · 2023 83% — 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
95% of GREEN WAVE ENTERPRISES'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 $10k that is directly attributable, 50% of it comes from funders outside California, across 3 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $192k 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
GREEN WAVE ENTERPRISES's revenue fell 44% between 2017 and 2024.
