Program
Creating Justice LA (CJLA) is a DBA of The Shaw Community Transformation Corporation. Our mission is to advance Justice through creative expressions by Elevating, Organizing, Strategizing, and Mobilizing Community members in an effort to increase their power by helping them to build wealth and to increase their capacity for Civic and Community engagement in positive ways. We are seeking to build and incubator for Holistic Growth, Development and Transformation. We seek to create alternatives to Capitalism that would generate income using more democratic options, such as co-ops and other creative models. Through our Mom & Pops initiative we seek to bring Mom & Pops businesses back into communities from which they have been displaced through gentrification. We believe that street vending and other Mobile models are one of the only ways in which small business will be able to survive and thrive from now and on into the future. Through our Creating Justice LA-Peace and healing center we serve as a resource hub and space for community connection and relationship building and healing. We also serve as a cooling and cool water station during extremely hot weather.Ran a peace and healing…

The program described on its FY2024 Form 990. Program spending in total: $242,196.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 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 $93k to $275k (+197%).
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: 2024 67%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
100% of The Shaw Community Transformation Corporation’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (91% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 5 reported years ran a deficit.
