Overview

Mission

The Organization's mission is to provide assistance to minorities and others in the community in obtaining equal employment in the construction industry and to advocate for equal employment opportunities.

What it reported doing in 2025

The organization provides hands on job training, referral and job placement services for participants seeking employment. Participants acquire the necessary elementary skills and training needed for entry level employment within the construction industry. For over 26 years the organization has provided more than 10,000 jobs for local residents at major constructions sites throughout the New York City area. The organization also monitors many construction projects performed in NYC to advocate for employment opportunities for minorities in proportion to the population percentage in the surrounding communities.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 61% 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 a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
