Overview
Mission
Primary exempt purpose of the interfaith organiation is to speak in one voice and act together for the judicatory (denomination) members to improve public policy on social injustice issues, and in the process civic discourse. Our members select two social priorities annually at a Fall Planning Conference for the following year. Our two priorites are Communitiy-Police Relations/Justice Reform and Displacement/Affordable Housing/Homelessness. Under the first priority MARCC developed a CourtWatch Project in Hamilton County, Ohio, in partnership with the League of Women Voters Cincinnati Area. Trained volunteers, develiped an observation form with the input of attorneys, judges, court administrators, observed all judges in Municipal Court, uploaded observation data to a software program with the assistance of a University of Cincinnati research professor. Then we prepared a report that included findings, conclusions and recommendations, that was disseminated to the judges, local government

Then we prepared a report that included findings, conclusions and recommendations, that was disseminated to the judges, local government, and broader community. In housing we informed and advocated for affordable housing and dedicated funding for the existing City of Cincinnati Affordable Housing Trust Fund. MARCC files an Annual Report according to its By-laws. The organization has an Executive Committee that meets bi-monthly. This Committee is composed of one representative from each member judicatory. MARCC has 14 judicatory members. The Executive Committee is inclusive and reflects a racially, gender, clergy, and lay person mix that reflects metropolitan Cincinnati.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
- 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
MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
