Overview
Mission
GRIA is an independent, resident-based neighborhood association that provides an inclusive forum for discussion of Remington community issues, facilitates resident-led initiatives, connects residents to local resources, conducts advocacy on neighborhood issues, organizes and provides neighborhood cleaning and greening initiatives, and directly supports our neighbors in need through housing services.
What it reported doing in 2024
Placemaking program - a covid-19 response program that funded installations that improved mobility and safety for remingtonians and provided remington businesses the opportunity to remain open and service customers safely. Installations included physical barriers such as bollards and planters to protect outdoor dining and retail areas from motor vehicle traffic, and boardwalk and decking to widen pedestrian sidewalks.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- 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 a large share of total spending goes to programs. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
