What Parent Voices Action does
Mission
Form 990-EZ, Part III - Organizations Primary Exempt PurposeParent Voices Action (PVA) envisions a California where all children and families are healthy and thriving. We believe that parents and guardians have the right to parent, and deserve just equitable systems that reflect the diversity of family needs. Parent Voices Action organizes families to strengthen their leadership in electoral and policy-making spaces. PVA centers families of color, immigrant and migrant communities, parents and guardians in the LGBTQ community, working and low-wage earning families, solo parenting households, and anyone caring for children who utilizes supportive services. PVA provides a space for parents, caregivers and guardians to build political power for their communities and channel their love for their children into social change.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 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 2023 to 2024, from $128k to $29k (−78%).
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 Parent Voices Action’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (57% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 5 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2020 → 2023: the base held at 3 funders, grant income rose $105k → $225k.
3 of 6 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 12% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

How concentrated its funding is
Parent Voices Action leans on a few funders — its largest provides 69% of grant income and the top three 91%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder 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 Parent Voices Action.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 52% · 2021 91% · 2022 80% · 2023 58% — growing more concentrated.
“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
78% of Parent Voices Action's grant income comes from California funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $125k 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.
Against its field
Parent Voices Action's funding has concentrated — grant income rose while the number of funders held roughly flat.
