Overview

Mission

The JPCA was formed in 1938 as the Residents of Juniper Park Homes, the name of the homes being built in the area at the time. When Eliot Avenue was being formed and was linked to Woodhaven Blvd on the East and Fresh Pond Road on the west, it became the main roadway until the LIE emerged on our streets. At the time a second group was formed called the Eliot Avenue Civic Assoc. In 1942 the two groups merged into what we know today as the Juniper Park Civic Association.

What it reported doing in 2024

Publication of the Juniper Berry, a community publication of events circulated quarterly throughout the year. The Berry contains articles about community issues and events, the people and history of the community. Articles are written by residents and about the Middle Village and Maspeth community area. Issues of significance around the city are also spotlighted. Historic photos and articles about Then and Now are among the favorite stories and of great interest to readers. Past residents stay connected through this popular publication as well.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 69% 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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
