Mission

As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Dore urgent care clinic is designed to serve individuals who are in psychiatric crisis, but who do not require hospitalization, involuntary treatment, seclusion, or restraint. The clinic is open 24/7 and is able to accommodate up to 12 clients at any one time. Clients are typically referred from san francisco police department, community health clinics, case managers, outpatient clinics, san francisco general hospital psychiatric emergency services triage or medical emergency rooms.
$4,769,504 spent$176 earned by the program15% of program spendingProgress place and bella house are located in the city of napa. Progress place is an 8-bed psychiatric crisis residential treatment program. This program is able to work with all adult and young adult age groups including transitional youth (ty), who are 16 and 17 and with persons over the age of 60. This is a two-week program for residents needing stabilization after crisis. Bella house is a twelve-bed psychiatric transitional residential program with an in-house structured treatment program, and over the length of their stay clients are expected to develop a planned-schedule of activities and services outside the house during the day, in combination with groups provided in-house. Clients who have not yet established their schedule work on individual treatment plans and activities.

At progress sonoma, both safety and individualized treatment are prioritized to help people meet their short-term goals, reintegrate back into their community, and discharge to a lower level of care. The program is open all year long with a qualified team of counselors who provide services 24 hours per day.

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 2017 to 2018, from $26M to $22M (−16%).
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 91% · 2018 96% · 2019 92% · 2020 96% · 2021 96% · 2022 96% · 2023 95% · 2024 95% · 2025 96%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
96% of PROGRESS FOUNDATION’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (7% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 6 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2019 → 2023: the base held at 1 funder, grant income fell $630 → $111.
1 of 7 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 1% 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 PROGRESS FOUNDATION’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
PROGRESS FOUNDATION leans on a few funders — its largest provides 47% of grant income and the top three 90%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
48% 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 PROGRESS FOUNDATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2019 100% · 2020 71% · 2021 99% · 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
PROGRESS FOUNDATION draws 50% of its grant income from funders outside California, across 3 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $487 arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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
PROGRESS FOUNDATION's revenue grew 40% between 2017 and 2025.
