Programs
Guaranteed incomeinland socal united way is testing guaranteed income as a tool to positively affect life trajectories. This model assists individuals at critical life stages where financial security is crucial in determining long-term outcomes for both individuals and communities. Currently, this work is accomplished under the california statewide guaranteed income pilot with blended funding from multiple partners. The pilot uses a randomized controlled trial to test and evaluate the efficacy and outcomes of guaranteed income on employment, health, pregnancy and early childhood, and other areas of life. The pilot runs for 18 months and started in 2024. Enrollment is now closed because it is at capacity. Results are anticipated for publication in 2026. For 2024, we were able to provide funding to 409 pregnant persons and 35 foster youth.

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 2019 to 2020, from $3.2M to $6.5M (+104%).
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: 2020 2% · 2021 63% · 2022 74% · 2023 45% · 2024 67% · 2025 57%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 7 funders to 13 funders, grant income rose $74k → $740k.
12 of 44 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 63% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
Left out of every figure on this page: $3.4M from one payer (the same organization on both sides, largest Inland Southern California United Way). These are real filings, and they are not money INLAND SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA UNITED WAY raised.
From the IRS filings of INLAND SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA UNITED WAY’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 44 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
INLAND SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA UNITED WAY leans on a few funders — its largest provides 55% of grant income and the top three 72%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
83% 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 INLAND SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA UNITED WAY.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 31% · 2018 81% · 2019 74% · 2020 82% · 2021 42% · 2022 43% · 2023 41% — growing more concentrated.
“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
38% of INLAND SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA UNITED WAY's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 36% 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
63% of INLAND SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA UNITED WAY'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 $2.7M that is directly attributable, 81% of it comes from California funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $4.7M arriving through sponsors registered in 11 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
INLAND SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA UNITED WAY's revenue grew 57% between 2017 and 2025.
