What Los Angeles Neighborhood Land Trust does
Mission
LANLT's mission is to grow healthier, safer, and stronger communities by creating urban parks and community gardens that remedy the critical lack of green and recreational spaces in greater Los Angeles' underserved neighborhoods.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
The Los Angeles Neighborhood Land Trust focuses efforts exclusively in communities that have little to no access to green space. We engage residents from the beginning of our design process through construction and ultimately the stewardship of the parks and gardens we develop. Since 2002, we have opened 30 parks and gardens and added over 22 acres of new green space to Los Angeles County which serve 500,000 people annually.
$3,585,097 spent77% of program spendingIn addition to building parks and gardens, we produce leadership development programs. The Gardening Apprenticeship Program prepares South Los Angeles high school students to be the next generation of urban gardeners, land stewards, and community health advocates.The Park Equity Leadership Academy fosters park equity advocacy and increases residents' civic engagement. Community members participate in and advocate for regional policy efforts and engage in local campaigns to address issues impacting their neighborhoods.

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 2022 to 2023, from $13M to $27M (+114%).
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 81% · 2018 74% · 2019 53% · 2020 67% · 2021 72% · 2022 91% · 2023 64% · 2024 87% · 2025 71%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 9 funders to 19 funders, grant income rose $468k → $563k.
13 of 51 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 21% 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 Los Angeles Neighborhood Land Trust’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 51 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
Los Angeles Neighborhood Land Trust has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 12% of grant income, and it takes 6 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 6 funders to its left
47% 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 Los Angeles Neighborhood Land Trust.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 32% · 2018 20% · 2019 28% · 2020 33% · 2021 31% · 2022 26% · 2023 20% — 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
46% of Los Angeles Neighborhood Land Trust's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 51% 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
77% of Los Angeles Neighborhood Land Trust's grant income comes from California funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.4M arriving through sponsors registered in 8 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.
