What The James Storehouse Incorporated does
Mission
James storehouse serves children in foster care from cribs to college. We provide a comprehensive safety net of support including: furniture, clothing, home goods, transportation, transitional shelter, food, and mentorship programs. These resources and relationships break multi- generational cycles of abuse, neglect, and poverty in our community - mending broken families and preventing foster care removals for future generations to come.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Essential Resources: James Storehouse offers free resourcing with the intent of empowering fostering caregivers taking a child into their home, providing children in foster care with everything needed to feel safe and loved, helping biological parents safely reunify with their children, and preventing children from entering foster care simply due to poverty. Depending on the needs of the individual, we provide every resource needed to live sustainably including: furniture, clothing, diapers, food, toys, bedding, home goods, appliances, car seats, strollers, toiletries, etc. at no cost. James Storehouse provided appointments and deliveries for children in foster care, children at-risk of removal, youth aging out of foster care, formerly trafficked youth, and all their caregiving families in Ventura and Los Angeles Counties at our Resource Center. Resourcing these families relieves extreme financial and emotional burdens of caring for the most vulnerable children in our community.
$752,693 spent90% of program spendingTransitional Housing: When youth in foster care turn 18 years old, they are left to fend for themselves, often becoming homeless within weeks of their birthday. The James Storehouse Transitional Home is a safe place to land in a beautiful, dignifying haven to call home for females who have aged out of foster care, ages 18-22 years old. This home not only gives youth stable housing, but it also provides a trauma-informed, nurturing environment, and mentorship from a live-in James Storehouse staff member. With an extra crutch of support during these critical young adult years, these young people can thrive and transition successfully to complete independence of their own.
$55,663 spent7% of program spendingTransportation: Reliable transportation is one of the biggest gaps in care for our teens and youth aging out of foster care. Youth often lack accessible transportation to get to and from work, school, and doctor appointments, creating major barriers for successful independence. We provided gently-used cars and bikes donated by generous community members at no cost for eligible aged-out youth. Before a vehicle is presented, we work with each youths social worker to ensure they are prepared for the responsibility of owning a vehicle and then we assist them with completing vehicle paperwork and car insurance of their own. With reliable transportation, youth are set up for success in their future schooling or career endeavors.

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.
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 $614k to $1.2M (+93%).
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: 2021 5%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 28 funders, grant income rose $12k → $362k.
12 of 54 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 34% 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 THE JAMES STOREHOUSE INCORPORATED’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 54 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
THE JAMES STOREHOUSE INCORPORATED has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 13% of grant income, and it takes 5 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 5 funders to its left
47% 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 THE JAMES STOREHOUSE INCORPORATED.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 91% · 2018 48% · 2019 53% · 2020 28% · 2021 17% · 2022 20% · 2023 22% — 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
56% of THE JAMES STOREHOUSE INCORPORATED's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 57% 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
62% of THE JAMES STOREHOUSE INCORPORATED's grant income comes from California funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $587k arriving through sponsors registered in 9 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.
