What Merced Lgbtq Alliance does
Mission
The mission of the Merced LGBTQ+ Alliance is to advocate for the interests of the LGBTQ+ community within Merced County. We celebrate our diversity and advocate for justice and opportunities for members of our vulnerable community. We provide education by giving presentations about LGBTQ+ issues in schools and other public venues, as well as by using social media channels and the corporation's website to promote awareness. We also engage in charitable activities by promoting the social welfare of the LGBTQ+ community to eliminate prejudice and discrimination, and to defend human and civil rights. We provide the community with mental health contacts, healthcare provider contacts, and other community resource contacts for LGBTQ+.
As stated on its FY2019 Form 990-EZ.
Program
Continued engagement with the community and advancement of LGBTQ acceptance and understanding. 9 Support Groups held throughout the year allow members of the community to come together in a safe space to talk and be with liked minded peers. On July 5th, 2019 Merced Pride took place in Downtown Merced and attracted more than 200 visitors. The Alliance also collaborates with the Merced County Office of Education and local schools to improve the acceptance and understanding on school campuses as well.
The first program described on its most recent Form 990-EZ.
Who funds it, year by year
2021 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 3 funders, grant income rose $30k → $40k.
1 of 3 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 0% 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 MERCED LGBTQ ALLIANCE’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
MERCED LGBTQ ALLIANCE leans on a few funders — its largest provides 64% 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
36% 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 MERCED LGBTQ ALLIANCE.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2021 100% · 2022 100% · 2023 62% — 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.
Where its funders are
100% of MERCED LGBTQ ALLIANCE's grant income comes from California funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $49 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.
