Overview

Mission

The mission of the Jacksonville Urban League is to enable African-Americans and others to secure economic self reliance, parity, power and civil rights.

What it reported doing in 2023

National Urban League Entreprenuer Sub-Grant - provides resources, support, training and counceling to small to mitigate and/or reduce crime committed by the youth.

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 most voting board members are independent. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and expenses are high relative to revenue.
