Financial health

We do not score finances when yearly spending is very small or the return has too little detail. The ratios stop meaning much at that size.

Governance

This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.

Our advocacy in Austin kicked off by supporting VOCAL TX on February 12 and 13. Together with organizations from across the state, we rallied to fight back against billionaires and build safe and thriving communities. We also met with lawmakers, sharing the importance of public health interventions like housing solutions and proven overdose prevention programs. The next month, we attended the All In For Equality Advocacy Day in Austin. We were joined by organizations and state residents from far and wide, all standing up proudly for the rights of queer Texans. ACT 4 SA Action Fund, alongside several community partners, kept tabs on many dangerous bills affecting things like the carceral system, cop transparency, and immigration. Thorouogh some advocacy days with coalition partners we were able to successfully beat several bad bills.

During this retreat, we realigned and re-strategized with a focus on the remainder of the year. A big thank you to BRIDGE Collective for facilitating our second day of training.
