What The Rona Barrett Foundation does
Mission
The Rona Barrett Foundation seeks to provide a solution to affordable housing for seniors in need with a project called "the golden inn & village". Through a community partnership, the foundation has acquired land for the village and is creating programs that will enable seniors to re-define this phase of their lives and re-invent themselves so that they may remain contributing members of society. Outreach will be made to the primary caregivers, whether they be family or friends, to provide basic training in caregiver skills and respite from this difficult but important duty. Public awareness of the state of seniors in need will be raised by radio, television, and appearances at special events.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
In addition to maintaining the current golden inn & village building, the affordable housing complex for low-income seniors, The Rona Barrett Foundation continuted pre-development work on phase 2, which is to be called harrys house. Collabroating with a potential partner, episcopal communities and services (ecs), market studies and proposed architectural plans were considered and reviewed. In addition, The Rona Barrett Foundation continued to maintain the acreage, which is adjacent to the existing golden inn & village building, thus increasing it appraised value.

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 2024 to 2025, from $2.1M to $1.8M (−14%).
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 24% · 2022 22% · 2023 25% · 2024 37% · 2025 44%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
91% of The Rona Barrett Foundation’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (87% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 9 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.

“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

24% of The Rona Barrett Foundation's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 47% 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
84% of The Rona Barrett 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. $101k arriving through sponsors registered in 5 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.
