Overview
Mission
Charitable/educational community improvement
What it reported doing in 2024
Complete streets: is a community drive effort, led by activatesa, with a shared common goal of adopting an updated complete streets policy for the city of san antonio. In 2024, this program worked toward this shared common goal through efforts such as monthly san antonio complete streets coalition meeting (8), town halls (1), community outreach, meetings with city council members (1), media interactions (7), and engagement with more than 200 individuals through outreach efforts. The program also played a vital role in supporting the adoption of the citys 2024 vision zero action plan and 2024 transit oriented policy framework. The organization was awarded a goal medal.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 90% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 95% 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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of total spending goes to programs and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
