Overview

Mission

The Racial Justice Coalition includes representatives of organizations in Asheville-Buncombe County with racial justice in our missions. We come together in commitment to racial equity and to advocate for the rights of people of color.

What it reported doing in 2025

During FY26, the organization ceased all program operations and devoted its efforts to winding down affairs and completing dissolution. Accordingly, there were no program service accomplishments to report for the year.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 97% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
Distribution model
Grant intermediary. The nonprofit sent 99% of its reported program spending out as grants.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and expenses are high relative to revenue.
