What Latinojustice Prldef does
Mission
Latinojustice Prldef (ljp) uses and challenges laws to create a more just and equitable society. We transform harmful systems, empower our communities, fight for racial justice, and grow the next generation of lideres. Ljp works in the areas of voting rights and redistricting, immigrant rights, economic justice, criminal legal system reform and leadership development.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Litigation: in response to a myriad of civil rights challenges and with continuing robust pro bono law firm and community partnerships, ljp continues to engage in expansive human and civil rights litigation across our core issue pillars. We brought legal challenges to increasingly aggressive and hostile immigration and law enforcement policies and tactics, including forcefully litigating a class action on behalf of 674 illegally detained persons held in local jail custody by the suffolk county sheriff's office. We continue to litigate various challenges to unconstitutional local law enforcement and policing policies criminalizing immigrants. We actively defend access to education in public schools and higher education across the country. We challenge expanded state and federal voter suppression efforts that seek to limit access to the ballot box, including an executive order that sought to unilaterally impose additional unconstitutional citizenship requirements in order to vote. We actively challenge all forms of racial discrimination and other constitutional violations by federal, state and local governments, and fight private actors who deprive our communities of wages and…
$4,175,644 spent$144,668 earned by the program59% of program spendingAdvocacy, community outreach and communications: we played a critical role in supporting legislative advocacy efforts to draft and enact state voting rights acts in pa, nj, md and fl. We also championed language access efforts in fl. Our criminal legal team focused on ending gang databases in nyc and on passing youth-protective legislation in ca. We are working to close the slavery loophole in the 13th amendment and to ensure voting access for returning citizens from incarceration. We actively oppose unconstitutional immigration enforcement activities in several states. Ljp engages with community-based immigrant rights organizations to identify priorities aligned with our criminal legal and immigrant rights work, including conducting know your rights seminars. We continued our formerly incarcerated persons (fip) academy, providing leadership and advocacy training to those seeking employment in social justice organizations; we have graduated nearly 50 individuals across the country.
$2,302,029 spentof which $75,000 as grants33% of program spendingLegal education: our cap leadership institute (cap) provided critical pre-law services for 1,425 students across the country. This included over 130 students for our annual law day fair, which drew more than 80 law schools and organizations; 76 students who attended intensive weeklong law school admissions boot camps; twelve law students we placed in paid summer internships through our corporate law firm alliance summer program (clasp); and hundreds of students who attended workshops, received one-on-one counseling and other services. Six clasp fellows were offered post-graduation positions at their respective law firms, continuing our record of 100% post-fellowship employment rate. And our lideres board comprised of 30 young professional leaders actively supported, volunteered and recruited peer volunteers for programs serving hundreds of students pursuing professional pathways and also raised awareness about ljp's social justice advocacy programs.

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 2017 to 2018, from $1.8M to $11M (+540%).
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: 2017 5% · 2018 1% · 2019 8% · 2020 2% · 2021 6% · 2022 2%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
92% of LATINOJUSTICE PRLDEF’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (93% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 6 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 12 funders to 23 funders, grant income fell $1.8M → $1.7M.
17 of 76 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 31% 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 LATINOJUSTICE PRLDEF’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 76 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
LATINOJUSTICE PRLDEF has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 28% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
44% 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 LATINOJUSTICE PRLDEF.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 28% · 2018 31% · 2019 52% · 2020 41% · 2021 40% · 2022 21% · 2023 24% — 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.
How long its funders stay
34% of LATINOJUSTICE PRLDEF's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 46% 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
71% of LATINOJUSTICE PRLDEF's grant income comes from New York funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $6.7M 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.
