What Let Spirit Lead Inc does
Mission
affordable housing and community development, consulting, coaching, innovation.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990-EZ.
Program
Let Spirit Lead developed and piloted innovative strategies to address barriers in affordable housing and neighborhood revitalization. Through research, strategic partnerships, and community engagement, the organization provided education and consulting support to emerging developers and grassroots leaders navigating complex housing systems. The long-term goal is to create replicable, equitable housing models and increase community ownership. (Estimated: Served 15-20 community stakeholders through workshops, one-on-one consulting, and visioning sessions.) Let Spirit Lead worked directly with local organizations, agencies, and collaboratives to build capacity for systemic change in housing and community development practices. Services included strategy development, facilitation, and stakeholder engagement with a focus on racial equity, healing-informed practice, and community voice. The program aims to create long-term structural shifts that reduce displacement and increase agency among historically excluded communities. (Estimated: Engaged 3-5 organizations in consulting partnerships.)
The first program described on its most recent Form 990-EZ.
Who funds it, year by year
Grant support over time, funder by funder — shade shows the grant size each year.
1 of 2 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 86% 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 LET SPIRIT LEAD 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
LET SPIRIT LEAD INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 86% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
100% 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 LET SPIRIT LEAD 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
86% of LET SPIRIT LEAD INC'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 $8k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from California funders.
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.
