POWER SPEAKS LOUDER CHOSEN AS A 2025 CALIFORNIA NONPROFIT OF THE YEAR BY SENATOR SABRINA CERVANTES
Moreno Valley—Power Speaks Louder is proud to announce it has been selected as a 2025 California Nonprofit of the Year by Senator Sabrina Cervantes of the 31st Senate District.
Power Speaks Louder is one of more than one hundred nonprofits that will be honored by their state senators and assemblymembers for their outstanding contributions to the communities they serve.
“The work that Power Speaks Louder does for the community and constituents in the 31st Senate District is exceptional, effective, and inspiring,” explained Senator Cervantes. “Naming PSL as Nonprofit of the Year was a clear choice as their multidimensional approach to the services they provide is unique and that much more impactful.”
Power Speaks Louder (PSL), founded in 2016, is a compassionate community-based nonprofit located in Moreno Valley, California. Each year, PSL serves over 22,000 individuals through its bi-monthly Community Outreach food distribution, youth-led Street Outreach Prep leadership program, Street Outreach Distribution Program supporting unhoused neighbors, and the PSL Evolve Walk/Run Club promoting health and movement.
“It’s an incredible honor to be recognized by Senator Sabrina Cervantes,” said Visionary Founder/CEO of Power Speaks Louder, B. Hunter. “Our multidimensional work is rooted in compassion, connection, and the belief that empowering words paired with intentional action can change lives of those who are underserved. This recognition highlights our commitment to immediate support and long-term resilience, while amplifying awareness of our mission to uplift more people in the communities we serve.”
“We are grateful for the work of Power Speaks Louder and want to extend our congratulations for this well-deserved recognition,” said Geoff Green, CEO of the California Association of Nonprofits (CalNonprofits), the sponsor for this initiative. “Nonprofits provide critical services, advocate for our most vulnerable neighbors, and enrich the lives of all Californians. From the childcare program to the soccer team, from the art class to the health clinic, and from the community organizer to the animal shelter, nonprofits make our communities stronger”.
“Nonprofits are not just innovators and problem-solvers, but also a major economic force within the state,” said Green. According to “Causes Count,” a 2019 report commissioned by CalNonprofits, the nonprofit sector is the 4th largest industry in the state, employing more than 1.2 million people. Each year, California nonprofits generate more than $273 billion in revenue and bring in $40 billion in revenue from outside of California. The unpaid labor contributed by volunteers at nonprofits is equivalent to 330,000 full-time jobs every year.
Now in its tenth year, the California Nonprofit of the Year initiative provides the opportunity for each California state legislator to recognize a nonprofit organization doing outstanding work in their district. The program culminates with a celebratory luncheon at the Capitol on California Nonprofits Day, which this year is May 21.
The program is sponsored by the CalNonprofits in partnership with the state Senate and Assembly Select Committees on the Nonprofit Sector. CalNonprofits, the leading policy voice for California’s nonprofit sector, focuses on advocacy, education, and research to build a more powerful and politically engaged nonprofit network across the state.
