Programs
Leadership Long Beach InstituteThe Leadership Long Beach Institute is an immersive 10-month program designed for community leaders aiming to deepen their understanding of Long Beach's opportunities and challenges. Running annually from August to June, this intensive program spans over 100 hours, focusing on principled leadership development. Throughout the program, participants engage in dynamic class sessions emphasizing our 14 leadership principles. Led by community leaders and subject matter experts, these sessions feature panel presentations and interactive discussions covering a wide range of topics, including the local economy, government, education, arts, culture, and social services. One of the program's key strengths is its commitment to bringing in leaders from the public, private, and nonprofit sectors to ensure participants are exposed to different lenses through which they can solve community challenges. By providing a platform for dialogue and learning from diverse perspectives, the LLBI equips leaders with the knowledge and skills needed to drive positive change within their communities.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
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 $243k to $158k (−35%).
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: 2021 17% · 2022 8% · 2023 8% · 2024 3% · 2025 9%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves

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.

Where its funders are
94% of Leadership Long Beach's grant income comes from California funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $39k 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.
