how the board can make an impact

The Hermosa Neighborhood Association is still a young organization, starting informally in 2014, becoming a non-profit in 2017. Our recent office space opening was a huge step in our growth, but we want to continue growing the organization and give the Hermosa community the attention it deserves. Better is always possible.

Our board of directors are the strategic thinkers who will work together to ensure the Hermosa Neighborhood Association builds a sustainable system to continue helping our residents. Our organization does not currently employ full-time staff members, and is powered by a wonderful crew of volunteers. HNA’s goal for the coming years will be to increase our revenue through fundraising and grants, and enable us to hire staff and add programming. For context, our income and expenses for the past three fiscal years are listed below.

FY2021

  • Income (Fundraising): $4,915

  • Expenses (operating + redistributed donations): $5,310

FY2020
