Overview

Mission

Provides practical consulting services and products for measurable equitable performance by government agencies, foundations, nonprofit organizations, local, state, and national networks, and businesses.

What it reported doing in 2025

Provided expertise to enable a longstanding, under-resourced nonprofit to add a policy agenda to its 35 year portfolio of services so that they can apply their knowledge to efforts for structural policy changes. Coached two new nonprofit leaders for programmatic success. Identified potential funding sources for a small nonprofit. Began a new online offering titled What's JPI Thinking to provide timely commentary and analysis on topics aligned with our vision of a more just nation.

Operating model

Revenue model
Investment-supported. 96% of the money available for current operations came from recurring investment income.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 99% 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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
