What The People-Centered Development Forum Pcd Forum does
Mission
The pcdforum functions as a movement-building catalyst that uses the power of framing stories to unleash latent social energies and align them behind the work of creating a world that works for all.the pcdforum works to focus public attention on the need and opportunity for a deep economic restructuring to decentralize and distribute economic power, and to shift the purpose of the economy from growing the financial assets of the already wealthy to serving the needs of the people.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Program
Much of the work of the pdcforum is carried out through our partnerships with other organizations that it helped to found. Pcdforum president david c korten is co-founder and board chair of yes! Magazine, a founding board member emeritus of the business alliance for local living economies, co-chair of the new economy working group, and an associate fellow of the institute for policy studies.most of pcdforum's work is centered on research, writing, governance, networking, and speaking in support of the activities of these organizations and the broader movement for economic justice.
The program described on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
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 2018 to 2019, from $142k to $62k (−56%).
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.
0% of THE PEOPLE-CENTERED DEVELOPMENT FORUM PCD FORUM’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (87% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 5 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

THE PEOPLE-CENTERED DEVELOPMENT FORUM PCD FORUM leans on a few funders — its largest provides 67% 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 THE PEOPLE-CENTERED DEVELOPMENT FORUM PCD FORUM.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 100% · 2019 100% · 2020 50% · 2021 100% · 2022 100% · 2023 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
100% of THE PEOPLE-CENTERED DEVELOPMENT FORUM PCD FORUM's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $230k 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.
