Mission

For more than 70 years, East Bay Agency for Children continues to improve the well-being of children, youth and families by reducing the impact of trauma and social inequalities.

Activities or mission (Part I)

East Bay Agency for Children ("EBAC") improves the well-being of children, youth and families by reducing the impact of trauma and social inequalities.

  • School-Based Behavioral Health Services Programs:EBAC school-based behavioral health services support over 1,200 children and youth and their families each year in building resilience & recovering from experiences of stress and trauma. EBAC staff work on-site at schools providing support to students who have been referred by their teachers, principals, parents, and themselves because they are struggling with issues such as anxiety, depression, or aggression. Through art, play, and other therapeutic tools, EBAC's clinicians and case managers help children and youth develop ways to self-regulate their emotions and behaviors. Additionally, clinicians work with teachers and administrators to create trauma-informed school environments and support a positive school climate. Services are provided at over 40 school campuses and several continuation high schools.

  • Family and Community Wellness Services:A strong and stable family is critical to the long-term wellness of children. EBAC provides several types of services that strengthen families and children, building resiliency to face future adversity and, where possible, increasing the potential of preventing exposure to trauma in the first place. EBAC serves approximately 3,000 children, youth and family members annually through our Family and Community Wellness programming. Programs include:- Afterschool Programs - EBAC operates seven afterschool programs at elementary schools in the Oakland Unified School District. The program provides academic support along with enrichment activities, such as arts & crafts, cooking, gardening and music. Often, our program provides the only alternative for children in under-resourced neighborhoods to spend the afterschool hours in a safe, supervised and enriching environment.- Family Resource Centers EBAC operates family resource centers in Hayward, Oakland, San Leandro and Fremont. FRCs help connect families to critical resources including concrete supports such as food and clothing, medical insurance enrollment, CalFresh Food enrollment, and referrals. Family Resource Specialists also provide case management and parent education to help families navigate services, understand their child's development and needs, and strengthen social connections.

  • Intensive Behavioral Health Services:EBAC's Intensive Behavioral Health Services provide safe, accessible, and supportive places for children and youth suffering from severe emotional difficulties while they restore abilities to return to mainstream school settings. These programs provide sanctuaries during times of crisis and act as alternatives to hospitalization and residential treatment centers. Intensive Behavioral Health Services programming includes Intensive Counseling Enriched Classrooms, EPIC, and Youth Empowerment Services.- Intensive Counseling Enriched Classrooms - Intensive Counseling Enriched classrooms are dual education and therapeutic classrooms that enable youth to learn techniques for self-regulation while in school. An EBAC behavioral health therapist works with each youth to achieve goals based on individualized plans. Approximately 70 students receive these intensive behavioral health services from EBAC annually in 5 classrooms in the Alameda Unified School District.- EPIC EPIC is a social-emotional readiness program designed to help young children in Transitional Kindergarten (TK) and Kindergarten develop essential social skills, emotional expression, and emotional regulation. By fostering these foundational abilities, EPIC empowers children to thrive in a school environment from an early age, setting the stage for success both in school and throughout their lifelong learning journey.- Youth Empowerment Services (YES) Case managers & counselors work with youth who are disengaged from school, need positive role models and to focus on positive activities. EBAC staff work collaboratively with young people and their families at home, in the community, and at school - provide life coaching, support academic planning and achievement, support school attendance, offer behavioral health counseling, and help build skills for developing caring relationships with adults and peers.

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. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

The 10 largest by cash amount. The API serves every itemized grant.

California fundraising campaigns

Campaigns run by paid fundraisers, commercial coventurers and thrift stores naming this organization, as California published them. Both figures are as filed, and what the first one counts depends on the campaign type — a coventurer or a thrift store files its own sales rather than money collected for the charity. The 990 reports this only as a yearly total, never per campaign.

  • CAR DONATION SERVICES INC

    $450 raised

    2024 CF Vehicle Donation Program

Amounts are as filed and do not add up: a commercial coventurer reports one promotion's whole gross once for each charity that shared in it. A campaign may also name more than one registered charity, in which case it appears on each.

Other IRS files

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 11 November 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.
