What Oakland Heritage Alliance does
Mission
Oakland Heritage Alliance is a non-profit membership organization which advocates the protection, preservation, and revitalization of Oaklands architectural, historic, cultural and natural resources through publications, education, and direct action.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Program
Oakland Heritage Alliance engages residents, policymakers, elected officials and others in exploring strategies to preserve Oaklands irreplaceable cultural and architectural heritage. Activities sponsored by the organization focus largely on educational, outreach and advocacy programs. Each summer our award winning walking tours introduce hundreds of people to Oaklands diverse architectural, cultural and natural heritage. These tours bring history alive and help people explore Oaklands vibrant and history-filled neighborhoods.Each year, to honor those who are helping preserve Oaklands history, whether it is the restoration of homes and commercial buildings, serving as preservation advocates, or preserving an important cultural heritage, Oakland Heritage Alliance presents its annual Partners in Preservation Awards. Our monthly lectures series brings outstanding preservationists, historians, architects, and cultural leaders to discuss important preservation issues with members and the public. One of the key roles Oakland Heritage Alliance plays in the city is to voice citizen support the protection of Oaklands historic resources.

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.
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 $64k to $108k (+70%).
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.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.
Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base held at 1 funder, grant income fell $5k → $300.
2 of 4 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 75% 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 Oakland Heritage 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
Oakland Heritage Alliance leans on a few funders — its largest provides 56% of grant income and the top three 93%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
75% 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 Oakland Heritage Alliance.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2019 97% · 2020 100% · 2021 92% · 2022 100% · 2023 100% — broadly stable.
“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
75% of Oakland Heritage Alliance's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $7k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside California, across 2 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $21k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
