Overview

Mission

To open spaces and provide support for people with targeted identities to engage in social uplift within our own communities.

What it reported doing in 2024

Reawakening & reimagining - free community programming that centers bipoc and other community members with intersecting targeted identities. Our reawakening and reimagining programming supports community-centered, grassroots change. Programming includes a bipoc book club, bipoc storytelling spaces, civic engagement work, youth art programming, and opportunities to build coalition and changemaking skills across racial and generational lines through community conversations.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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 voting board members are independent. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
