Activities or mission (Part I)

The East Oakland Collective supports residents of East Oakland, prioritizing Black residents, to navigate challenges and barriers to inequities through resource distribution and advocacy. We work towards racial and economic justice and equitable access. Our work includes food and supply distribution, homeless services and solutions and economic empowerment.

  • The Food and Supply Distribution Program continued its work providing hundreds of weekly food and meal delivery drop-offs to homebound, economically underserved, and disabled seniors in East Oakland. The program served over 560,674 pounds of groceries including fresh produce, meats, dairy, and dry goods to over 2,670 households representing 9,571 individual members. The organization participated in the City of Oakland Summer Meal Program, distributing 200 meals per week to school-aged children, and hosted quarterly freecycle pop-up thrift store events providing gently used clothing, shoes, accessories, and household items to community members in need. The Homeless Services and Solutions program continued its award-winning Feed the Hood initiative, hosting 4 events where over 600 volunteers from across Northern California distributed 8,000 bag lunches, thousands of hygiene and snack kits, and supplies to over 2,000 unhoused neighbors and economically underserved families experiencing food insecurity. During the cold and wet season, the organization distributed hundreds of warm winter items, and during heavy rainstorms provided emergency supplies including tents, tarps, and rain gear to unhoused neighbors. The organization also distributed 4,800 meals to unhoused individuals through weekly outreach to encampments across Oakland. In partnership with Bay Area Community Services' Keep People Housed Oakland, the organization submitted 93 community client applications for rental assistance and eviction support, and conducted outreach to Black community members for back rent relief, utility assistance, and wraparound services including food, furniture, and mental health services. The Older Adult Solidarity Program, under the Wellness, Resources and Outreach department, hosted 14 resource-rich coffee hours covering topics including emergency preparedness, healthy eating, health screenings, art therapy, and low-barrier exercise. The organization also hosted its first annual wellness fair offering free health and wellness services and resources to community members. The East Oakland SuSu Financial Literacy Academy launched its third year, serving 12 participants including 4 youths between the ages of 14 and 18, advancing participants' financial knowledge and expanding their savings.

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.

As filed, from the IRS e-Postcard file of 2 November 2026. The IRS publishes only each organization's most recent postcard, so earlier years are not shown. A 990-N carries no financial detail. The postcard also gives the principal officer's address, which is not shown here.

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.

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.
