What Pomona Economic Opportunity Center does
Mission
We provide opportunity for day laborers, household workers and other low-wage, immigrant workers to find safe work, conduct health and safety trainings, educational outreach, wage theft claims support, job training, immigration services and housing support.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
On its FY2024 return the organization reported a significant change in how it conducts a program.
Peoc is no longer fiscally sponsoring the inland empire immigrant youth collective (ieiyc).
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 3).
Our worker rights department engages our membership of day laborers, domestic workers, and other low-wage immigrant workers in our various programming, including workforce and job development, know your rights presentations, outreach and education, wage theft support, worker/employer mediation, as well as leadership development through advocacy, civic engagement, and coalition building as part of campaigns that aim to directly better living conditions for the working class immigrant community. The department is divided into three (3) subprograms: the day labor program (dlp), the household worker program, and the health and safety program.

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 2020 to 2021, from $907k to $1.9M (+112%).
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: 2017 38% · 2018 27% · 2019 6% · 2020 14% · 2021 7% · 2022 5% · 2023 17% · 2024 59%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
94% of POMONA ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY CENTER’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (16% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 6 funders to 11 funders, grant income rose $112k → $618k.
7 of 27 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 32% 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 POMONA ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY 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
POMONA ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY CENTER has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 21% of grant income, and it takes 4 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 4 funders to its left
54% 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 POMONA ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY CENTER.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 45% · 2018 41% · 2019 51% · 2020 22% · 2021 18% · 2022 57% · 2023 24% — 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.
How long its funders stay
53% of POMONA ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY CENTER's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 63% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
88% of POMONA ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY 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. $2.1M arriving through sponsors registered in 3 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.
