Overview
Mission
The primary exempt purpose of the organization is to promote social welfare by, including but not limited to, conducting community organizing and advocating for the best interests of the residents on or near Spruce and Pine Streets in Center City Philadelphia.
What it reported doing in 2025
The three top program service accomplishments are the following: (1) the filing and maintenance of a civil lawsuit against the City of Philadelphia holding the City accountable for its management of traffic and safety along the Pine and Spruce Street corridors in Center City Philadelphia; (2) research and education about safe and effective ways to manage traffic on those two corridors; and (3) organizing for the same topics. All accomplishments benefit the thousands of residents who live along the two corridors, the thousands of motorists, cyclists, motorcyclists, public transit vehicles and other vehicles that use the corridors, as well as all residents, pedestrians, and visitors who cross and use the corridors.
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. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and expenses are high relative to revenue.
