$7,392,813 spentof which $130,000 as grants100% of program spendingCommunity empowerment: micop enhances the capacity of the indigenous migrant population for self-leadership through intensive trainings provided to the community. Micop also empowers the community by training community members to be disc jockeys (djs) on micop's community radio station, currently broadcasting via the internet. The djs provide informational and culturally relevant programming in mixteco, zapoteco, purepecha, english and spanish. Micop's community organizing works with the community to help them advocate for their own needs. We also hold community meetings, which are attended by an average of 250 families and each month, where speakers talk about relevant information to the community. Training of internal leaders has provided a staff that is 85% indigenous origin and a board of directors with 40% indigenous membership.
Immigration legal services: mila provides various immigration legal services to the indigenous migrant community, such as assistance with daca and citizenship applications, support for unaccompanied minors in sijs cases, and petitions for advance parole, among others.
Indigenous language rights and justice: micop fosters long-term community development through increasing the ability of public, private and nonprofit providers to provide culturally and linguistically appropriate services to this community. Micop will address the social education and humanitarian needs of indigenous immigrant youth and families through pilot programs to demonstrate how community needs can be met and assist other entities to provide direct programs and services.
Outreach and access to services: micop increases access to medical, mental health, and social services for the indigenous migrant population of ventura county. Our outreach workers work in three local school districts to ensure that indigenous migrant children are healthy and ready to enter kindergarten with their peers. Micop operates outreach using the outreach worker model to prevent domestic violence, teach about reproductive health and increase knowledge about available services, including county healthcare safety net programs. We have staff on site to enroll our families in medi-cal and have expanded our work to include supportive services for families with children who are disabled. Micop provides immigration legal & education services for indigenous families in ventura and santa barbara county.
Education and literacy: micop provides literacy and adult education tocommunity members who wish to continue their primary and secondary education. Because the majority of indigenous migrants living in ventura county are young families with small children, micop offers pact classes that teach the basics of infant care and early childhood learning. The classes are designed to accommodate low-literacy learners with a linguistically accessible and culturally appropriate curriculum. Micop's tequio youth group promotes indigenous pride and encourages academic achievement and continuing on to higher education. Micop provides annual scholarships to tequio students to help further their education. Micop also offers wellness classes to support the mental health needs of our community through our living with love program and our connecting with my peers program.

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 $7.4M to $10M (+40%).
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 25% · 2018 19% · 2020 49% · 2021 30% · 2022 47% · 2023 30% · 2024 54% · 2025 54%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
91% of MIXTECO INDIGENA COMMUNITY ORGANIZING PROJECT’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (21% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 6 funders to its left
63% 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 MIXTECO INDIGENA COMMUNITY ORGANIZING PROJECT.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 29% · 2018 46% · 2019 52% · 2020 18% · 2021 18% · 2022 54% · 2023 14% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

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.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $7.8M arriving through sponsors registered in 11 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.
