Programs
Grant making rap provides funding to nonprofits addressing health, mental health and juvenile intervention unmet needs. The following are examples of services and programs funded: programs for seniors, youth and disadvantaged populations with an emphasis on remote communities; the colorado river senior center, and several cooling centers; palm springs, thermal, mecca, and blythe. The mental health initiative was initially approved in may 2014 through 2019. Request for proposals (rfp) were released to proactively focus on specific areas identified by the community as high priorities. In the fall of 2019, the rap board expanded the rfps to include health-mental health programs/projects and addressing juvenile intervention services through our small grants. The mental health initiative has continued through 2024 with an emphasis on under-served communities. The desert fast-pitch annual competition is an innovative and creative way for pre-qualified nonprofits to learn how to improve their communication, presentation, and marketing skills. Rap awards cash grants and provides workshops and one-on-one coaching over several weeks to help build the capacity of nonprofits.

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 2019 to 2020, from $5.3M to $6.7M (+27%).
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 75% · 2018 64% · 2019 79% · 2020 73% · 2021 90% · 2022 74% · 2023 93% · 2024 58% · 2025 74%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 5 funders, grant income rose $205k → $624k.
3 of 15 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 27% 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 REGIONAL ACCESS PROJECT 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
REGIONAL ACCESS PROJECT FOUNDATION leans on a few funders — its largest provides 29% of grant income and the top three 81%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
67% 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 REGIONAL ACCESS PROJECT FOUNDATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 98% · 2018 53% · 2019 81% · 2020 72% · 2021 72% · 2022 90% · 2023 86% — 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
38% of REGIONAL ACCESS PROJECT FOUNDATION's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 53% 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
95% of REGIONAL ACCESS PROJECT FOUNDATION's grant income comes from California funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $948k 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.
