  • UNITE-LA works to transform and align public systems to achieve education and workforce equity in the L.A. region. "Systems Changes" includes L.A. Compact, K-16 Collaborative, LA-DEAL, and more: L.A. Compact - Since 2008, UNITE-LA has convened the L.A. Compact, a bold commitment to close the education and workforce gaps caused by systemic inequities and racism. The L.A. Compact brings together the region's most prominent leaders to collectively lead transformative change with UNITE-LA in the unique role of intermediary to build consensus among diverse stakeholders. K-16 Collaborative - The L.A. Region K-16 Collaborative is a collective effort to close racial and gender attainment gaps in postsecondary education and employment in L.A. County, starting with a focus on streamlined pathways to health care, engineering and computer science careers. Following a state grant award last August to launch the Collaborative, UNITE-LA is working with West Ed and a stewardship group of cross-sector partners to guide a sub-grant award process that is allocating $13.9 million across five sub-regions of L.A. County. These regional partnerships will coalesce K-12, higher ed, workforce and community partners around a shared plan to accelerate degree attainment in high-growth fields for students of color. LA-DEAL - The Los Angeles Digital Equity Action League (LA DEAL), the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) designated Regional Broadband Consortium for L.A. County, is committed to eliminating the digital divide by addressing the related challenges. LA DEAL is a collaborative, community-driven consortium working to assess and tackle broadband gaps that exist in communities across L.A. County. In 2024, LA DEAL launched Community Broadband Los Angeles (CBLA) to close gaps in internet access, increase internet affordability and combat digital redlining by advancing community-owned broadband infrastructure projects. Some other areas where UNITE-LA's Systems Team engaged cross-sector, cross-segmental partners in L.A. County included: Partnering with the City of Los Angeles' Economic Workforce Development Department (EWDD) and the Los Angeles Opportunity Youth Collaborative (OYC), co-convened by UNITE-LA and the Alliance for Children's Rights, for The Horizons 32K Strategic Plan: A Roadmap to Empowerment for Los Angeles' Opportunity Youth. This collective impact plan aims to reduce the number of OY in Los Angeles by 32,000 over four years. Playing a key role in shaping and advancing the Governor's Master Plan for Career Education. UNITE-LA co-hosted the L.A./O.C. Regional Convening with the Governor's Office and WestEd, where more than 100 leaders identified barriers to career pathways and explored solutions in areas such as access, affordability and work-based learning. Convening workforce development practitioners and leaders across California's workforce ecosystem to identify gaps and challenges in supporting individuals' access to family-sustaining careers to develop Empowering California's Workforce: Strategic Recommendations for Systemic Improvement. This was possible with support from Michelson 20 MM Foundation. Continuing improvement and innovation through LAUSD's Community Schools Initiative. UNITE-LA serves as co-convener and project manager for the Community Schools Steering Committee.

    Expenses $2,127,163 · Grants $184,500

"Policy" includes Education Means Business and Strengthening and Advancing Equity through Business Engagement: Education Means Business - Policy's "Education Means Business" webinar series provides diverse stakeholders in the region, including the business community, with the opportunity to connect with and hear from content experts, elected officials and community leaders on the latest policy topics impacting education and workforce development areas.

The first 25 listed. 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. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
