Overview
Mission
The Atlanta Community Press Collective ACPC empowers Atlantans to engage in civic participation and build a city led from the bottom up by holding government and those in power to account changing narratives to center marginalized voices expanding the possibilities of engagement and spotlighting the stories of those fighting for a more equitable future.
What it reported doing in 2024
Atlanta Community Press Collective ACPC publishes news on issues that impact the safety and well-being of Atlantas residents with a focus on government transparency police accountability and community leadership. In November ACPC received its IRS determination letter and began transitioning from a fiscal sponsorship model. By the end of the year ACPC had two full-time staff members a contract-based editor and a growing team of freelance contractors. Throughout 2024 ACPC continued to cover Atlanta City Council meetings release investigative stories on police and other public officials and highlight the efforts of democratic movements around Atlanta. Also in 2024 ACPC joined the Institute for Nonprofit News a membership organization that supports a network of over 500 independent nonprofit nonpartisan news organizations across North America. We publish our journalism through our website atlpresscollective.com and various social media channels including X Twitter Instagram and YouTube. For the 2024 election season we partnered with the Associated Press to bring local-election news to our audience.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% 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 revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
