Overview

Mission

The Illinois african american coalition for prevention is a statewide membership based 501 (c)(3) organzation that strengthens early intervention and prevention systems policies and programs in the african american communities through culturally relevant research training and advocacy.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 92% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
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 most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
