Overview

Mission

The Beaverton Black People's Union is a volunteer-led collective of families and individuals organized to create community, advocate for culturally relevant resources, and ultimately support the success and well-being of our children and community in Beaverton. We engage in community building and grassroots organizing to unify Black families across Beaverton and Washington County.

What it reported doing in 2024

Community Building - BBPU organizes community wide, multi-generational events to celebrate and preserve Black culture and traditions in the Beaverton, Oregon area. These programs foster belonging and social support for Black residents and their families. Grant-funded events included the Kwanzaa Community Festival, Umoja Black Graduates Celebration, and Black to School BBQ, benefiting over 500 community members.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 81% 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 expenses are high relative to revenue.
