Programs
Key research indicates that thriving communities excel along seven dimensions. Our work is focused on four: quality mixed-use housing and income, safety and security, cradle to career education, and community health and wellness.mixed-income communities: the westside's neighborhoods' rich history lives within its residents. To restore the strength of these historic neighborhoods, we must ensure that current residents are able to stay here for generations to come. This will be possible through quality mixed-income housing, which helps to support families, nurture community, stimulate local businesses and attract new residents.

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 2017 to 2018, from $11M to $41M (+287%).
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: 2018 5% · 2019 1% · 2020 0% · 2021 16%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
84% of WESTSIDE FUTURE FUND INC’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (21% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 8 funders to 32 funders, grant income rose $1.4M → $5.4M.
12 of 68 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 7% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
Left out of every figure on this page: $13M from 7 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Joseph B Whitehead Foundation); $916k from one payer (an institutional transfer, not a grant programme, largest Suntrust Bank Charitable-Irr Tr(1071). These are real filings, and they are not money WESTSIDE FUTURE FUND INC raised.

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

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $2.5M arriving through sponsors registered in 12 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.
