Activities or mission (Part I)

The mission of the YWCA Berkeley/Oakland is to eliminate racism, empower women, develop leaders and promote peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all.

  • Financial Literacy: Young Women Financial Literacy Program (YWFL): serves high school and young adult aged girls and women through the Young Women and Money Conference, two bi-annual Financial Empowerment Summits For High School Girls, online workshops and interactive modules for self-guided learning. The YWFL program addresses the need to educate women in financial basics to increase their financial independence and economic success. The program provides girls and young women ages 14-30 in Berkeley, Oakland and the greater East Bay with financial education and programs covering budgeting, credit and investing other other topics designed to empower women with the tools, knowledge and support as they navigate through their financial worlds and careers and build financial independence. Youth leaders plan programs and build on their leadership and coordinating skills while exploring how existing systems create barriers to generational wealth and economic success for BI&POC individuals.

    Expenses $73,258

  • Workforce Development and Empowerment: The Workforce Development program has three active community programs under its umbrella: Strive, Strive Teen, and Career Coaching. The YW Strive/Strive Teen program provides workforce development training- including resume preparation, cover letter writing, conflict resolution, digital literacy, and customer service- to individuals (primarily women and people of color) without a four-year degree or access to job training/mentoring. The program seeks to empower women with the skills, training, knowledge, and confidence they need to enter the workforce or seek a promotion. Simultaneously, the program is dedicated to eliminating racism by focusing on delivering its curriculum to people of color and other marginalized groups- including formerly incarcerated folks, domestic violence survivors, and immigrants- in order to promote equity in the job search and the career realm. In addition to the Strive sessions, Strive participants get free access to Career Coaching workshops. Through a curated curriculum created by the YWCA Berkeley/Oakland Career Coach, workshop attendees will work through topics such as finding a job in their prospective industry, learning how to sell their skill sets, and working towards a satisfying career of their choice.

    Expenses $11,268

  • TechGYRLS Program: Female volunteers teach science and technology concepts to third to fifth grade girls (primarily students of color) in Oakland public elementary schools. The goal is to foster an interest in STEAM and provide mentorship. Mentors deliver inspired curriculum to participants and through the hands-on science projects, demonstrations, career exploration and SEL (social emotional learning, they begin to seem themselves in STEAM fields and enter into lucrative and life sustaining careers. To deal with the COVID-19 climate and potential school closures, we have the ability to offer hybrid programming and can provide students with science projects that can be done at home. Girls Group Mentoring Program (GGMP): Matches female mentors with Berkeley and Oakland middle school girls (prioritizing lower income and BIPOC students) for girls-only after school mentorship and relationship building. Mentors work with participants on a weekly basis to address issues of participants choosing while focusing on empowering themselves through advocacy.

    Expenses $22,953

  • The Racial Justice Advocacy Program (RJA) consists of college students and rising community leaders, many of whom are people of color, who are interested in advancing racial and gender justice through policy and ongoing anti-racism learning. The RJA program supports young leaders in developing the tools they need to advocate for change and research upcoming legislative actions that support racial and gender justice. The Program hosts two voter registration drives for those impacted by voter suppression and communities of color in the East Bay. The RJA program also organizes various social justice campaigns designed to foster cultural understanding and increase the equal protections and equal opportunities of people of color through issue education and advocacy.

  • Racial Justice Campaign to raise awareness about institutional and structural racism in our communities and to build community among those who work for racial justice. RJA members will increase the number of young women activists involved with social change. They will deepen their understanding and knowledge of the legislative process and advocate for issues important to the YWCA goals and to themselves as members of their own community.

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

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.

  • DONATE FOR CHARITY INC.

    $600 raised

    2021 CF Vehicle Donation Program

    $371 to charity

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 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.
