In 1989 community leaders called a public meeting to discuss strategies to address the extreme gang-related violence in pierce county. Approximately 200 people were expected to attend, but more than 2,000 flooded into the high school gymnasium that night. From this gathering, Safe Streets emerged as a grassroots initiative to empower neighbors to unite against crime. In the intervening 31 years, Safe Streets has organized, trained and mobilized a network of over 125 neighborhood groups in high-risk areas, empowering more than 13,500 community leaders and 190,000 residents to ensure that their neighborhoods and schools are Safe. In response to evolving community needs, our work is increasingly focused on 1) creating Safe, positive, and inclusive neighborhoods and environments where children and youth can thrive; and 2) engaging and supporting young people to become tomorrow's civic leaders.

Names, privacy, and removal requests More

The names, titles, and compensation shown on this page are reproduced from IRS Form 990 filings, which are public records.

Philanthropy.org does not alter the content of those filings. All information appears exactly as reported by the filing organization for the tax year shown.

We publish only information contained in the public IRS filing — and less than the filing contains. Our profile pages do not display street addresses, telephone numbers, personal email addresses, or other personal contact information, even where the filing includes them.

Many people share the same name. A name shown on this page reflects only what one organization reported in one IRS filing for one tax year. It should not be interpreted as identifying any other individual with the same or a similar name.

If you are no longer affiliated with the organization, your name will generally stop appearing in future IRS filings once the organization no longer reports you. Pages for tax years in which you were reported remain published because those filings remain part of the public record.

Philanthropy.org does not alter or remove IRS filing records. Removing a page from this website would not remove the underlying IRS filing, which remains publicly available from the IRS and other publishers of the same information.

If you believe the IRS filing itself is inaccurate, corrections must be made by the filing organization or the IRS directly.
