Overview
Mission
JOIN is a broad-based alliance of churches, nonprofits, and civic groups that helps ordinary citizens solve community issues they care about. While many non-profit organizations conduct top-down organizing, JOIN only supports a “bottom’s up” organizing model whereby people only work on issues that individual congregations or groups and their members select and care about deeply. We provide leadership development to ordinary citizens. New and emerging leaders are then able to articulate their values and together address the problems facing their families, their neighborhoods, and the broader community. Our tools include in-depth research, public education, building diverse alliances, and direct action. JOIN’s Mission – Community Democracy In Action.

Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 97% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 93% 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 some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
