Housing Equity
We held a successful event with our Mayor where she committed to releasing $11M this year for the construction of new affordable housing and behavioral health. Over 225 people from 20 different institutions attended the event, building a long term constituency with an understanding of how local policy affects housing accessibility.
Leadership Development
We developed 54 new volunteers for leadership positions through active participation in leadership roles, local campaigns and actions. A total of 97 volunteer leaders participated in our Delegate Assembly and End of Year Celebration. 30 key leaders participated in a full-day Leaders Retreat in December.
Quality Jobs
The Jobs Team conducted numerous research meetings with policy experts, BIPOC communities, and union members to develop a Community Workforce Agreement, which would set high standards for publicly-funded construction jobs and prioritize access to public jobs for low-income zip codes.

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.
