Mission
To increase the capacity of the underserved communities of the Imperial Valley and intertwined regions facing socio-economic and environmental injustices, health care access disparities and institutional discrimination. Los Amigos de la Comunidad, Inc. is dedicated to building capacity of underserved communities from the ground-up with an emphasis on communities facing socio-economic and environmental injustices and challenges, lack of educational opportunities, poor infrastructure, lack of affordable and adequate housing by using culturally competent and relevant organizing and advocacy methods. Capacity building includes civic engagement, direct organizing/advocacy, creating access to resources and fostering leaders from the underserved communities to become their best advocates and take control of their issues focusing on the most underserved people living below, at or just above the poverty level, people of color, immigrants, women, undocumented, LGBQT, homeless, farmworkers and ot

Programs
The organization participated in the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) Connect SoCal 2024 Education and Outreach program, which aimed to engage underserved communities in Imperial County in the development of Southern California's Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy. Through culturally competent and relevant outreach, including community surveys, group "Platicas"/talks, and public outreach activities at community events, the organization successfully gathered the thoughts and vision of the community regarding the future of their area and investment. Despite the lengthy and challenging government-created survey, the 40-day intensive program reached over 500 people and collected 159 surveys, effectively capturing the community's voices and vision, which were then forwarded to SCAG to contribute to the plan that outlines a more resilient and equitable future for the six-county region.
$108,032 spentof which $10,439 as grants100% of program spendingIn partnership with the County of Imperial, the organization has been conducting the Imperial County Lithium Valley Outreach and Education program since July 2023. The ongoing project aims to inform the community about the Lithium Valley Development and its potential impacts on the impoverished Imperial County. The program has reached over 2,000 people through various forms of engagement and collected 357 surveys. The organization has been actively involved in public forums, community activities, and Lithium Valley presentations in collaboration with community partners and trusted voices to explain the details of the opportunities and possible impacts as the development moves forward. The outreach continues into 2024 as the County of Imperial, the State of California, and the industry work together to create this development. The organization's goal is to raise awareness, gather the community's concerns and vision, and convey this message to the county, state, and industry stakeholders. By doing so, they aim to help limit the impacts that residents fear most, such as air quality deterioration in an already damaged air basin, uncontrolled environmental impacts on the Salton Sea,…
The organization's general outreach program focuses on providing direct support to residents, including undocumented individuals, in accessing resources and services they may be unaware of or unable to obtain due to various barriers such as language, difficulty navigating systems, self-imposed barriers, and distrust of systems. The program assists eligible residents in signing up for Medi-Cal, Cal-Benefits, Covered California, Cal-Fresh, and utility discounts, which are often neglected by underserved communities. Annually, the organization meets with over 1,000 people to discuss different applications, assess their eligibility, and help them apply for and receive benefits. Hundreds of applicants successfully receive benefits each year, while others gain an understanding of their eligibility status and potential future opportunities. The organization also provides references to additional resources for those who may not be immediately eligible.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2023, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2023, 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 2023 to 2024, from $85k to $32k (−62%).
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: 2024 16%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
94% of Los Amigos De La Comunidad Inc’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (84% for the typical peer).
