Early Childhood Education Centers (ECECs) - Proyecto provides high-quality, pre-k curriculum, to 100 children ages 18 months to 5 years through two ECECs in Boyle Heights. Our centers offer a nurturing environment that focuses on social and cognitive development, helping children get the best start to their education at a crucial stage. Each of the ECECs conducts monthly workshops with parents to engage them in their child's education, invests in continuous professional development for teachers, and uses innovative technology to track and evaluate student progress.

In addition to after-school academic and extra-curricular enrichment, IMPACTOs Academic Case Management (ACM) program targets high school students at high risk of dropping out to provide intensive academic and socio-emotional support. IMPACTOs long-term goals are that Boyle Heights youth: 1) graduate high school, 2) begin college and/or are career ready, 3) build a foundation for workforce success, and 4) are physically and mentally healthy.

In 2025, an incredible 47% of our women's shelter residents transitioned into permanent housing, one of the highest transition rates among all LAHSA providers.

Promesa is achieving its vision through a combination of community organizing, parent and student leadership development, and community-school transformation efforts that include multi-tiered student supports and school-wide initiatives addressing academic, wellness, college, and career readiness and success.

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 2023 to 2024, from $8.6M to $14M (+63%).
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 53% · 2018 52% · 2019 46% · 2020 48% · 2021 51% · 2022 34% · 2023 49% · 2024 50% · 2025 47%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
96% of Proyecto Pastoral’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (81% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 16 funders to 42 funders, grant income rose $918k → $3.5M.
20 of 124 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 39% 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 Proyecto Pastoral’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 124 funders by total. 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
Proyecto Pastoral has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 16% of grant income, and it takes 6 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 6 funders 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 Proyecto Pastoral.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 33% · 2018 22% · 2019 56% · 2020 22% · 2021 27% · 2022 17% · 2023 14% — 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
39% of Proyecto Pastoral's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 58% 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
67% of Proyecto Pastoral's grant income comes from California funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $7.4M arriving through sponsors registered in 10 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.
