“ES NorCal has been focused on delivering essential services, and its financial structure reflects a strategic investment in expanding capacity and reach. The $5.6M liability represents the strategic investment that Catalight has made in ES NorCal to further its mission. Although this amount is expected to be repaid, we should emphasize that the repayment is not imminent, allowing ES NorCal to concentrate on mission delivery without immediate financial strain. While the 990 shows a history of deficits, the trend is improving, and funders should see this as an opportunity to invest and help ES NorCal grow to expand it reach within the northern California region.”
