What Oakland Technology & Education Center does
Mission
Oakland Technology & Education Center strives to bring together people of all ages and community organizations in the san francisco bay area, to learn, work, and play together through engaging in technology based literacy activities. We create multimodal representations of self and community, share these with wider audiences locally and globally, as well as using digital media tools as a way of reflecting critically on self, community, society, and the world. We create educational, economic, and entrepreneurial opportunities for the community in which they live.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990-EZ.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2022, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2022, 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 $39k to $148k (+282%).

Who funds it, year by year
2018 → 2021: the base broadened from 1 funder to 2 funders, grant income rose $2k → $5k.
2 of 5 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 43% 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 TECHNOLOGY & EDUCATION 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
OAKLAND TECHNOLOGY & EDUCATION CENTER leans on a few funders — its largest provides 43% of grant income and the top three 85%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
65% 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 TECHNOLOGY & EDUCATION CENTER.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 100% · 2019 100% · 2021 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

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $15k 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.
