Overview

Mission

Greater Spokane Action (GSA) is the political arm of Greater Spokane Progress (GSP), reshaping politics by educating, advocating and mobilizing to establish and strengthen equitable and progressive policies in our community.

What it reported doing in 2025

GSA is a non-partisan hub for grassroots organizing and political engagement that works year-round to center the voices of BIPOC and impacted communities to hold elected officials accountable and promote progressive policies - locally and statewide. We are using our voices and building community power to advance our vision of equity and justice, creating the change we want to see. In 2025 we developed our network's legislative agenda and engaged our network in advocating for our tier 1 and other legislative priorities. We worked with members of our Voter Engagement Committee to develop communications about the importance of voting in local elections. and the issues that elections impact like housing.

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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
