Alliance for Community Transformations

What Alliance for Community Transformations does

Alliance for Community Transformations (ACT) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (EIN 77-0272319) founded in 1990 and headquartered in Mariposa, California, that delivers a coordinated portfolio of six social-service programs across Mariposa and Merced Counties. The portfolio comprises Mountain Crisis Services and Valley Crisis Center (domestic and sexual violence prevention, advocacy, and direct services for victims); Mariposa Heritage House (peer counseling and recovery support); Mariposa Family Resource Center (parenting guidance, family counseling, and community activities); CASA of Mariposa (volunteer court advocacy for abused and neglected children); and Connections (emergency shelter for individuals and families experiencing housing crises). The organization was originally established as Mountain Crisis Services and rebranded to ACT in 2021 to reflect the expanded program scope and a vision of safe, healthy, and socially just communities.

ACT operates a partnership- and collective-action-based service model in which programs are delivered directly through its own sites and embedded within partner organizations including Mariposa County Health & Human Services, Mariposa County Building, Planning and Environmental Health departments, Habitat for Humanity, and Self-Help Enterprises. Services are provided at no cost to clients; the organization does not operate a technology platform or proprietary software product, and there is no AI or digital-product layer to the service delivery stack. Distribution is hybrid: in-person program sites combined with a website, social media channels (Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Pinterest, Medium), community events, and partner referrals from schools, healthcare providers, and county agencies.

The revenue model is consistent with a 501(c)(3) social-services nonprofit: operating funding is generated through donations from individuals, corporations, and foundations (accepted via credit/debit card, PayPal, Venmo, ACH, and check), supplemented by grants and county-government partnerships; revenue figures are not publicly disclosed. The organization is governed by a volunteer board of directors (Armando Martinez, President; Claudia Noemi Juarez, Vice President; Candy O'Donel-Browne, Secretary; Chris Bobbitt, Treasurer; plus directors) and is independent with no parent company or external private-equity ownership. ACT has 51-100 employees, serves a predominantly rural two-county market, and competes in its service categories only against other regional nonprofits and public agencies.
