Overview

Mission

NPCR advances the renewal of New York's low and moderate income neighborhoods and communities of color through the redevelopment of brownfield sites. Through its roundtables, forums, and summits, NPCR facilitates discussions on the challenges communities face in their revitalization efforts. NPCR translates those discussions into advocacy for legislation, policies, and programs that advance community-identified needs and priorities, particularly on behalf of those communities burdened with poverty and multiple brownfield sites.

What it reported doing in 2015

Most of NPCR's expenses are related to two conferences it hosts every year. These conferences are the primary means of carrying out the NPCR mission by providing a networking and information sharing forum for individuals and organizations involved in revitalization in blighted communities. Attendance ranges from 100 to 130. These forums include roundtable discussions designed to refine policy direction which, in turn informs NPCR's successful advocacy for programs that have proven to successfully help low income communities with multiple brownfields.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% 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

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
