Overview

Mission

Actionn is a coalition of faith based groups working to address social justice issues in northern Nevada. We are working on creating more affordable housing, creating jobs and economic justice, reforming immigration and ensuring racial justice. We work to attract and retain quality teachers and increase access to affordable mental health services.

What it reported doing in 2024

Voter engagement: actionn ran a voter engagement program that registered over 3,000 voters in historically disenfranchised communities.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 99% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
