Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

CALEB (Chattanooga in Action for Love, Equality, and Benevolence) represents the needs and goals of our community by bringing together different groups who share the same vision for our city and its betterment. We use our common wants and needs to bring churches, labor unions and other groups together. By being united, we are able to affect change and win for all people within our city.

Activities or mission (Part I)

CALEB's Purpose: To bring together an institutional coalition of Faith-based, labor and other community organizations in order that their constituents gain a powerful voice in public affairs and issues in the wider community.

  • Hamilton County Community Bail Fund: The Hamilton County Community Bail Fund is a revolving fund account that allows CALEB to post full cash bonds for individuals unable to post for themselves. CALEB works to remind participants and their community contacts about upcoming court dates, and when cases are resolved the bail amount is returned in full to be used for the next individual. CALEB volunteers conduct interviews and receive community referrals by phone, email and through our website. We also have a referral relationship with the Public Defender's Office.

    Expenses $148,490 · Revenue $26,957

  • Nonpartisan Voter Engagement: CALEB's nonpartisan engagement of members and supporters as voters, including Get Out the Vote canvassing and community outreach, voter registration, and voter education.

    Expenses $16,499

  • Community Organizing Trainings: CALEB's purpose is to build strong public organizations through strong public leaders. Trainings are a key part of this work. As an affiliate of the Gamaliel Network of community organizations, we commit to sending leaders to Gamaliel's 7-day National Leadership Training, as well as regional one- and three-day regional trainings. CALEB has also created local training opportunities. In partnership with our member organization Glass House Collective, we've created a curriculum called 'SWAY: A People's Guide to Community Organizing" that pairs local residents with artists interested in public action. Through eight workshops and a community project, participants learn the strategies and qualities for building a strong public organization that can affect change.

    Expenses $164,988

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
