What Two Valleys Community Land Trust does
Mission
The mission of the Two Valleys Community Land Trust is to create, preserve and manage affordable housing in the San Geronimo Valley and beyond.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
Sage Lane Sage Lane has three shared housing units rented to six low-income seniors built as part of the French Ranch Development. Mobile Home Park The Mobile Home Park on Sir Francis Drake Blvd. has 19 owner-occupied spaces, and 1 affordable rental. The Park was acquired by the County of Marin in December 2014 to preserve it for use as long term affordable housing in the Valley. The Association agreed to become a partner in the project in October 2014. The Association began managing the Park when the County assumed ownership, and on December 23, 2015, the Association acquired the Park and began a major rehab project. Rehab Project The Park has a Rehab budget of $859,040 which will include a new water system, wastewater system, paving, electrical and fencing repairs, a new common building and area and landscaping.

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 2022 to 2023, from $2.5M to $3.3M (+31%).
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: 2019 23% · 2021 16% · 2022 18% · 2023 12%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
24% of Two Valleys Community Land Trust’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (37% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2018 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 4 funders, grant income rose $45k → $93k.
2 of 5 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 19% 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 Two Valleys Community Land Trust’s funders (the co-funder graph). 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
Two Valleys Community Land Trust leans on a few funders — its largest provides 58% of grant income and the top three 92%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
85% 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 Two Valleys Community Land Trust.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 89% · 2019 89% · 2020 100% · 2021 100% · 2022 100% · 2023 65% — 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.
Where its funders are
Two Valleys Community Land Trust draws 72% of its grant income from funders outside California, across 2 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $45k 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.
