What Memoria Decolonial Inc does
Mission
Memoria decolonial is an educational organization. Through participatory methodologies, we develop educational public humanities projects that interrogate historical narratives and democratize the production of knowledge by embedding the humanities in their places of memory.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
On its FY2025 return the organization reported starting a significant new program.
In 2025 we added two new routes to the desvio program, a participatory public history initiative offering critical tours in old san juan. The program conducted 200 tours serving 2,510 participants, including 1,428 k-12 students and 637 college students, educators and researchers. Desvio also partnered with eight organizations and expanded access through community tours.

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 $10k to $381k (+3607%).
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.
