What Sacramento Esl Program does
Mission
Sacramento ESL Program is a non-profit run by former teachers providing multiple levels of English as a second language classes to non-English speakers in Sacramento County. Our organization was initiated when the Sacramento City Unified School District closed its adult education ESL classes in 2012. Our program consists of several weekly multi-hour sessions of classroom instruction at verying levels to meet the needs of our students.
As stated on its FY2017 Form 990-EZ.
Program
We serve over 100 students with diverse needs in our community in the areas of language, individual guidance, GED's, higher education, and free community resources. Classroom instruction includes pronunciation, writing, reading, grammar, listening, and conversation. We provide distance learning to all students and tutors to especially needy students. Outcomes include measuring progress in areas of language, soft skills, long and short term goal setting, and awareness of community resources. Many of our students come from very challenging backgrounds and we make sure that they get the help they need. We provide students with multiple resources including handouts, books, internet websites, and one-on-one tutoring to help assist them in meeting their goals. We collaborate with local agencies such as public libraries and other non-profit organizations in the area to further enhance the services we can provide.

1 of 2 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 0% 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 SACRAMENTO ESL PROGRAM’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
SACRAMENTO ESL PROGRAM leans on a few funders — its largest provides 100% of grant income and the top three 100%; 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 SACRAMENTO ESL PROGRAM.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 100% · 2020 100% · 2021 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
SACRAMENTO ESL PROGRAM draws 100% of its grant income from funders outside California, across 1 state in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $10 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.
