What Silicon Valley Allied for the Common Good does
Mission
We are a non-partisan network of civic associations, faith-based organizations and nonprofits that come together to effect change on a larger scale than we could alone. We identify shared issues affecting our communities (such as housing insecurity, mental health issues and closing the technology divide). We build long-term relationships across lines that often divide us. We help regular people have a seat at the decision-making tables of Silicon Valley.We are a "sponsoring committee" because we are in the early stages of building an organization, and are affiliated with the Industrial Areas Foundation (IAF), the nations largest and longest-standing leadership development and organizing network. The IAF believes that a healthy democracy requires the active participation of ordinary people.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
2025 was our first full year after our official founding as Silicon Valley Allied for the Common Good. We hired our first full time lead organizer, and grew to 21 diverse contributing institutions representing over 30,000 people. Each institution invests annual dues, and individuals within each institution contribute financially to support the work. Our first year of operations was focused on listening to the concerns of the members of those 21 Institutions, through a broad series of one-on-one relational dialogues, and House Meetings. All together we engaged in dialogue with 750 people. We also focused on training individuals on leadership and building power, and to date, have trained almost 200 people.As a result, we identified three key areas of concern to all of the people we represent and have begun researching these issues to identify actions we will take in 2026. The three areas are Healthcare SafetyNet for all residents of Santa Clara County, Immigration protection, and Neighborhood safety as some of our low-income neighborhoods are fraught with crime.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2023, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2023, 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 $336k to $442k (+32%).
How it's funded, over time

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
90% 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 Silicon Valley Allied for the Common Good.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $98k 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.
