Mission and programs · 2025

WE HELD SEVEN WEBINARS WITH MORE THAN 3,500 ATTENDEES TO EDUCATE POLICYMAKERS, COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND KEY PARTNERS ON TOPICS RANGING FROM BIRTH EQUITY TO REPARATIONS. OUR TEAM MEMBERS FURTHER REACHED THE COMMUNITY THROUGH 55 SPEAKING ENGAGEMENTS THAT REACHED 5,700+ PEOPLE, AND THROUGH 50 MEDIA STORIES WE HELPED GENERATE. WE SHARED POWER BY REDISTRIBUTING MORE THAN $1.3 MILLION TO FAMILIES AND COMMUNITY PARTNERS TO UPLIFT THEIR LEADERSHIP AND EXPERTISE, AS WELL AS AWARDING $4 MILLION TO EIGHT CALIFORNIA HIGH SCHOOLS AS PART OF OUR PEER-TO-PEER YOUTH MENTAL HEALTH PILOT DEMONSTRATION IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH CARE SERVICES.

As filed on the 2025 return.

Listed in Part VII

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.

Schedule J

Part I's answers as filed. A line not listed was left unanswered; on lines 1a and 3 that means the box was not checked.
