IN 2025, THE ORGANIZATION LAUNCHED DIABETES GROUP EDUCATION COMBINED WITH INDIVIDUALIZED PHYSICIAN VISITS, SERVING BOTH ENGLISHSPEAKING AND SPANISHSPEAKING PATIENT COHORTS. THE ECM PROGRAM, PART OF CALIFORNIA'S MEDICAID INITIATIVE, GREW TO MORE THAN 300 ACTIVE PARTICIPANTS AND CONTINUED TO SERVE INDIVIDUALS WITH THE MOST COMPLEX MEDICAL AND SOCIAL NEEDS.IN MATERNAL HEALTH, MLKCMF EXPANDED ITS PRENATAL CARE PROGRAM AT THE EAST COMPTON, CALIFORNIA SITE FROM THREE DAYS TO FIVE DAYS PER WEEK. THIS EXPANSION IMPROVED ACCESS TO PRENATAL SERVICES, SUPPORTED IMPROVED MATERNAL AND INFANT HEALTH OUTCOMES, AND ENABLED PATIENTS TO RECEIVE CARE WITHIN THEIR COMMUNITY RATHER THAN TRAVELING OUTSIDE THE SERVICE AREA.

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.

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.

Related organizations

From Schedule R Part II, where a filer lists the tax-exempt organizations it is related to by control. It does not record shared board members or money.

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.
