Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

Our mission is to create economic opportunity by empowering entrepreneurs.Through innovative partnerships we provide business owners with capital, education, and relationships that allow them to flourish. Our collaborative approach helps our clients create jobs and stimulates economic development in low-to-moderate income communities.

  • PROGRAM ACCOMPLISHMENTIn the last 10 years, Main Street Launch has made loans totaling $95 million tomore than 1,200 businesses, creating and sustaining over 5,800 jobs. These loanssupported 47% women-owned businesses, 28% new businesses, 40% businesses in low to moderate income (LMI) areas, and 68% of borrowers were LMI entrepreneurs. Main Street Launch provides lending services across the entire state of California, with a particular focus on Oakland and San Francisco.During FY25, Main Street Launch provided technical assistance to 600 entrepreneursand loaned $9 million to 57 California small businesses, including 18 businessesin San Francisco and 12 in Oakland. These businesses created and sustained over 300jobs. Main Street Launchs technical assistance and lending activity has resulted injob creation and income for residents in LMI communities, increased wealth forunderserved entrepreneurs, and increased economic activity in LMI communities. Thisleads to improved community vitality as a result of decreasing retail leakage,blight, and the number of empty storefronts, increasing tax revenue of city servicesand residents access to goods and services.In 2025 Main Street Launch started a new program in San Francisco to support businesses filling vacant storefronts in Downtown San Francisco. The program is a public-private partnership funded by the City of San Francisco and several private bank and foundation funders. The program provides grant and low cost/flexible debt capital to small businesses filling vacant storefronts.

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

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 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.
