What Navel la Co does
Mission
The mission of Navel la Co is to support cultural communities, individuals, and organizations through public programming, space and facilities rentals, residencies, educational programs, and all other related activities to the above mission.
As stated on its FY2022 Form 990.
Programs
Public program & events: our public programming was presented in a hybrid, in-person and online format, due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. We offered a series of online conversations regarding cultural work being done by local grassroots artist collectives and organizations called assemblies, which was attended by over 300 people and involved 12 participating artist-organizers facilitating collaborative learning groups. In addition to assemblies we produced 3 concert events featuring local qt/bipoc performance artists & groups which were attended by over 500 people. As always, all of our programs and events are low-cost or free, and no one is turned away for lack of funds.
$159,396 spent$10,678 earned by the program72% of program spendingSpace facilities & residency programs:our physical space was shut down due to local covid pandemic restrictions on and off 2022, forcing us to limit the number of space and facilities residencies and rentals we could support. We continued to offer free space and equipment to our network of artists & partner orgs, providing 20 artists and cultural workers with access to our space at no cost, as well as mentorship and support for their projects and practices. Lastly, we provided free or sliding scale access to our space and facilities to over 30 values-aligned organizations, collectives, and groups.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2019, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2019, 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 2019 to 2020, from $20k to $88k (+351%).
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: 2020 44% · 2021 58% · 2022 47%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
80% of NAVEL LA CO’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (64% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 4 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2019 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 4 funders, grant income rose $1k → $48k.
3 of 9 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 27% 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 NAVEL LA CO’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
NAVEL LA CO has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 29% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
35% 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 NAVEL LA CO.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2019 100% · 2020 99% · 2021 38% · 2022 79% · 2023 52% — 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
20% of NAVEL LA CO's funders are still giving 2 years after their first grant; 22% 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
83% of NAVEL LA CO's grant income comes from California funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $35k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 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.
