Mission

THE MISSION OF LATINOS UNITED FOR A NEW AMERICA (LUNA) IS TO UNIFY THE LATINO COMMUNITY WITH THE GOAL OF SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF LIFE OF OUR FAMILIES AND THE FUTURE OF OUR CHILDREN THROUGH ADVOCACY AND CIVIC PARTICIPATION.

Activities or mission (Part I)

TO UNIFY THE LATINO COMMUNITY WITH THE GOAL OF SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF LIFE OF OUR FAMILIES AND THE FUTURE OF OUR CHILDREN THROUGH ADVOCACY AND CIVIC PARTICIPATION.

  • Chapters: Luna is currently working in four neighborhoods on the east side and one on the west side of San Jose. Notably, in this past year, LUNA has begun working on a violence prevention campaign with the Santa Clara County Department of Health in the Cadillac/Winchester neighborhood. LUNA's organizers have established the goal of neighborhood development and creating spaces/campaigns for cross-neighborhood collaboration on issues they share. This includes the housing support system, air quality campaign, and immigration, which will allow community leaders in all our neighborhoods to connect, share ideas and strategies, and build capacity to support each other with the problems that are occurring in their communities. Our central mission remains to empower those in the most vulnerable neighborhoods to be able to act effectively on their behalf. Leadership and organizing expertise can be applied to addressing any challenge a neighborhood faces.

  • CCSPP: the California Community Schools Partnership Program (CCSPP) is a grant program in collaboration with Sunrise Middle School and it is focus on two separate projects. The first one is creating a mental health awareness campaign that could help fight the stigma that mental health has. The second is know your rights and Family Plans for Undocumented Immigrants. This project was to help create family plans for undocumented immigrants to have in place in case they were arrested.

    Expenses $139,076 · Revenue $6,448

  • Air Quality: the Air Quality campaign, aims to enhance environmental awareness and foster active participation in local environmental initiatives across several East Side neighborhoods. This cohort of 5 members and 2 organizers participated in Canopy's Canopy Certified Community Forestry School, a ten-week program involving 10 online classes, University of California online coursework, 4 in-person fieldwork days, and 15 hours of hands-on community service applying skills learned during the coursework. All 5 community leaders and both organizers completed the program, receiving UC Climate Stewards and Canopy Certified Community Forester certificates. Additionally, this campaign has actively participated in Tree Planting's hosted by Our City Forest throughout the year. Notably, since November of 2025, this group has participated in 6 community tree plantings, planting 10 trees in parks and park strips across San Jose and 2 in East Palo Alto.

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.

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.
