Overview

Mission

To further the common good and promote the social welfare for the citizens of forest hills.

What it reported doing in 2025

Noise abatement litigation - the purpose of concerned citizens of forest hills is to promote the social welfare of the community including advocacy and litigation on behalf of the citizens of forest hills. Accordingly, we instituted litigation in New York supreme court to curb excessive noise from forest hills stadium. The case is currently on appeal. Getting the stadium to comply with the New York city noise code and instituting reasonable limits on the stadium concerts benefits at least 900 residents of forest hills.

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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
