Overview
Mission
PPG is a non-partisan, not-for-profit team of doers, coaches, and advisors focused on making government work for its people. We help state and local governments optimize and streamline the most important work that they do: deliver public goods like clean water, vibrant parks, reliable public transit, and emergency response services.
What it reported doing in 2024
PPG works with state and local governments to harness their core operational levers for resident-facing impact. During the reporting period, PPG focused on improving public procurement systems through technical assistance, training, convening, network-building, policy design, and dissemination of practical tools and insights.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 94% 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 - The filed numbers largely add up and most filed governance safeguards are in place. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work.
