What New Star Family Center does
Mission
The New Star Family Center opened its doors in 2006 as a non-profit 501c3 organization to serve victims and survivors of family violence in the south bay, an area comprising of 15 cities and un-incorporated neighborhoods just south of the los angeles airport. Our mission is to reach out to underserved communities and provide access to comprehensive services from one location. Many communities in the south bay experience barriers to services such as economic, logistical and language barriers that leave victims trapped in abusive relationships for years. Our domestic violence program offers an array of services designed to empower victims to become survivors and break the cycle of violence.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Having overcome the challenges brought on by covid-19, we set out to grow the program and the funding streams to support the services offered to clients. We applied and were approved for a grant to create a domestic violence response team with the hawthorne pd. This program is significant because our advocate rides along with an officer responding to dv calls at the moment they occur, making this the most ideal time to render crucial assistance to victims. We applied and were approved for a grant to create a prevention program for middle school students in the hawthorne school district. Prevention has only recently been recognized as a crucial program for teens and pre-teens to prevent future occurrences of domestic violence by teaching students healthy relationships. Our fjc program has experienced growth as well by the addition of new partner agencies who work collaboratively with us to serve clients in their areas of expertise. We now have partner agencies in the areas of human trafficking, elder abuse, law enforcement, pro-bono legal assistance and housing advocacy.our ultimate goal is to create a healthy and vibrant community where survivors of domestic violence live…

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 2024 to 2025, from $558k to $861k (+55%).
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 85% · 2021 83% · 2022 70% · 2023 93% · 2024 79% · 2025 63%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
93% of NEW STAR FAMILY CENTER’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (81% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 4 funders, grant income rose $10k → $51k.
1 of 5 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 NEW STAR FAMILY CENTER’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
NEW STAR FAMILY CENTER leans on a few funders — its largest provides 38% of grant income and the top three 89%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
100% 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 NEW STAR FAMILY CENTER.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2020 100% · 2021 100% · 2022 100% · 2023 51% — 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
76% of NEW STAR FAMILY CENTER's grant income comes from California funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $37 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.
