Mission and programs · 2025

Primary exempt purpose

The mission of the Southeast Fresno Community Economic Development Association (SEFCEDA) is a community economic development platform to advance and promote prosperity and to improve quality of life for all residents and businesses through engagement, education, and an action plan that executes and enriches cultural identity and attract new residents, employers and investors to Southeast Fresno. Workforce Development and Job Placement. This year SEFCEDA continues to make referrals of Southeast Fresno low-income residents to training institutions and training providers like union organizations. The goal is to improve the skills of local residents to improve their earning power and to place them in better paying jobs in our community. Another project in our community includes the beautification of the Cesar Chavez Boulevard through grants provided by the Fresno Area Hispanic Foundation in low income communities. SEFCEDA continues to participate in the improvement of parks in Fresno.

  • WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT. SEFCEDA provides assistance to low-income residents in obtaining job training for jobs in the construction industries and places residents in jobs in local businesses. The main purpose of this program is to improve the earning capacity of residents and to improve their income to address the problems of poverty we have in the area we serve.

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. 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.

As filed, from the IRS e-Postcard file of 9 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

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.
