Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

To be a powerful organization committed to combating the root cause of systemic injustice in our region by uniting people of faith in transforming our communities.

  • Transformative. UCM's work with Transformational and Restorative Justice includes community collaborations with other local nonprofit organizations and statewide initiatives. We continued the work in dismantling the school-to-prison pipeline by meeting with local legislatures, school board representatives and principals, and conducting a few events to encourage relationships between students, law enforcement, and leaders in education and in the community. We also hosted our second Gun Violence Awareness Boxing Event in Cahokia Heights, IL in collaboration with the Arthur Johnson Invitational which promoted an alternative to street violence and a positive discipline. This was another way to bring our community together and encourage our youth.

    Expenses $270,031 · Grants $60,100

  • General Programming. The Leadership Pipeline which affords the ability to offer paid volunteering and internship opportunities to both students and community members in the Metro-East region. We offered paid canvassing opportunities, hired interns from local universities and communities to work in areas within their self-interest that both directly and indirectly impacted the Metro-East communities.

    Expenses $195,386

  • Environmental. UCM's work with Environmental Justice includes Environmental Racism which is a form of institutional racism leading to landfills, incinerators and hazardous waste disposal being disproportionately placed in communities of color. UCM has secured grants to fund a comprehensive study through an Air Quality Monitoring Project set to properly identify chemicals and metals in the air in St. Clair and Madison Counties; the dispersement of data about carbonization in Madison County; and the creation of Climate Action Hubs throughout St. Clair and Madison Counties that will offer climate readiness, EJ programs, and resources for community members; and continued efforts to bring fresh food and end flooding, sewage backup, and illegal dumping in St. Clair County. Through these efforts and funding, we were able to hire community organizers dedicated to environmental work and interns from Washington University in St. Louis, MO and Southern Illinois University in Edwardsville, IL.

    Expenses $121,978

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. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.

What this page reflects
