Overview

Mission

This organization was formed to work with the city of San Jose and the citizenry of the Northside neighborhood in the redevelopment of north central San Jose to benefit all the residents in the area. It specifically strives to help develop and improve economic and housing opportunities for the many low income residents in the area while preserving the economic, ethnic and social diversity of the neighborhood, in addition to providing economic opportunities and the best quality of life for all residents.

What it reported doing in 2024

The Joyce Ellington library is located within the historic Northside neighborhood near downtown San Jose. This library contains books, periodicals, and other media and provides other valuable community services, such as internet training, community service for young adults through the Teens Reach Group, and many children's events and story times. These funds were established to accept donations and used books to generate resources to help maintain and upgrade the library in its continuing endeavors, including library programs for the community. Due to COVID-19, no in-person activities were occurring and so no funding was requested or spent on extra programs.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 86% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 97% 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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
