Overview
Mission

What it reported doing in 2024
Teacher SpotlightEach year during Black History Month, Community Goods recognizes an inspiring black teacher from the Chicago Public School system. Our goal is to highlight teachers that make a difference in the classroom and community. Friends, family, or colleagues can nominate them to win our Teachers Spotlight honoree by submitting a short story to have them be featured and receive a monetary donation or a classroom wishlist fulfilled. Mr. Antonio Miller ( @afromilitant ) of Urban Prep Academy in Bronzeville, was our 2022 Teacher Spotlight winner!
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 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
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and expenses are high relative to revenue.
