The Working Group

Tax-deductible

Oakland, CA501(c)(3)EIN 94-3082546

Not In Our Town (NIOT), the core program of The Working Group, has worked for more than 25 years with local communities to fight hate and bias and to create inclusive environments for all. NIOTs fundamental conviction is that working at the local level - where innovative methods can be tested, evaluated, shaped and shared - is critical to developing solutions to hate, bias and bigotry. NIOT focuses on intersectional coalition and community building at the local level. NIOT collaborates with local leaders and activists to connect diverse communities targeted by hate with leaders and key institutions to mount an effective response to hate, but more vitally to build the connections, alliances and systems for action that will lead to hate and bias prevention.

501(c)(3) charity; gifts are tax-deductible.
87¢ of each $1 spent went to programs.
Run by 14 volunteers and 5 employees.

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.
