What Isla Urbana Inc does
Mission
Rain for all!Isla Urbana is a project dedicated to contributing to water sustainability in Mexico through rainwater harvesting.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
In 2025, we expanded access to clean water in Mexico through rainwater harvesting and water purification initiatives. We installed rainwater harvesting systems in 23 schools and community centers, improving reliable water access for students and teachers. We also completed 37 residential rainwater harvesting systems and distributed 140 gravity-fed water purification filters, helping families and schools in off-grid regions access safe drinking water.Together, these efforts directly benefited 4.932 people and will capture an estimated 1,137,190 gallons of rainwater each year across four states in Mexico, strengthening long-term water security and community resilience.In addition, our annual Summer Program and other U.S. based student initiatives engaged 15 high school and university students, tutors, and chaperones from across the country, creating hands-on learning experiences that connect young leaders to water access, sustainability and global impact.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2022, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2022, 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 2024 to 2025, from $156k to $166k (+6%).
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 Isla Urbana Inc’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (88% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 4 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
Grant support over time, funder by funder — shade shows the grant size each year.
1 of 5 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 33% 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 Isla Urbana Inc’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
Isla Urbana Inc leans on a few funders — its largest provides 33% of grant income and the top three 97%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
65% 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 Isla Urbana Inc.
“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
Isla Urbana Inc draws 100% of its grant income from funders outside California, across 2 states in all.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $50k 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.
