What Our Time To Act does
Mission

As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Programs
Civic Youth Action Network: The Civic Youth Action Network is a program that brings together powerful youth leaders across San Diego to more effectively and collaboratively shape our future. Work included the planning and execution of a 2-day regional Youth Changemakers Summit hosting 14 organizations and over 100 attendees for workshops speakers tabling and break out sessions where youth could make their changemaking ideas a reality with peers and partner organizations. The event was free for all attendees and served 3 meals a day. Following the conference this program continued to support youth-led program initiatives in and outside of Our Time To Act via one-on-ones trainings and other support. This program engaged and served over 200 youth and community members directly.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2023, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2023, 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 $26k to $3k (−87%).
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.
100% of Our Time To Act’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (65% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 3 reported years ran a deficit.

From the IRS filings of Our Time To Act’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
Our Time To Act leans on a few funders — its largest provides 56% of grant income and the top three 97%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
56% 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 Our Time To Act.
“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.
