What Unity Lab does
Mission
The Unity Lab is organized exclusively for charitable and educational purposes. We develop and share public-interest media, programs, and partnerships that promote community knowledge, foster civic engagement, and advance the common good.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
On its FY2024 return the organization reported starting a significant new program.
During the year, the organization launched two new program services not previously reported: (1) a public awareness billboard campaign focused on educating the public about the humanitarian crisis in gaza; and (2) a community walkathon event designed to foster civic engagement and raise awareness about the ongoing conflict. Both initiatives align with the organization's charitable mission to promote human rights and global humanitarian awareness.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 2).
The organization implemented a public awareness campaign aimed at educating the general public on the humanitarian crisis and ongoing conflict in gaza. Activities included purchasing and displaying billboard advertisements in key metropolitan areas to promote awareness of civilian suffering, human rights violations, and the urgent need for international attention. The campaign emphasized non-partisan, humanitarian messaging to foster informed public discourse and encourage civic engagement. Materials were developed and reviewed to ensure compliance with irs guidelines for charitable educational activities. This program aligns with the organization's mission to promote peace, justice, and human rights through public education.
$273,336 spent99% of program spendingThe organization planned and coordinated a community walkathon to raise public awareness about the humanitarian crisis in gaza. The event served as a peaceful and educational demonstration, drawing attention to the urgent need for humanitarian relief and international action. Participants included individuals, families, and local advocacy groups, who joined together to promote solidarity and informed dialogue around the ongoing conflict. Educational materials were distributed during the event, and speakers addressed issues related to civilian impact, human rights, and peace-building efforts. The walkathon aligned with the organization's charitable mission by fostering civic engagement, promoting nonviolent advocacy, and encouraging public education on global humanitarian issues.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2024, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2024, 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 $93k to $25k (−73%).
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.
100% of UNITY LAB’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (91% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves

Who funds it, year by year
Grant support over time, funder by funder — shade shows the grant size each year.
3 of 6 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 40% 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 UNITY LAB’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 5 of 6 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
UNITY LAB leans on a few funders — its largest provides 53% of grant income and the top three 93%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
40% 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 UNITY LAB.
“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
89% of UNITY LAB's grant income comes from California funders.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $31k 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.
