Overview

Mission

Civic involvement

What it reported doing in 2024

Building community and connecting neighbors to improve quality of life in our neighborhood is central to our mission and work. We do this by working with a core set of volunteer block leaders to communicate information about events, service opportunities, crime and safety issues, housing and development issues, and information related to our parks and open spaces in lex-ham. We also publish quarterly print newsletters and monthly e-newsletters to 700+ neighbors, keep an updated website, post on social media. We hold at least 6-12 public and community events per year. Neighborhood advocacy is also important to our organization. We work with the leaders and staff at the union park district council and ward 1 leadership in the city to advocate on behalf of our residents for needs related to crime and safety, housing and development, and parks and open spaces in addition to hosting our community events. We coordinate services and programs with the city of st. Paul parks and recreation department.

Operating model

Revenue model
Investment-supported. 63% of the money available for current operations came from recurring investment income.
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. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
