Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

To leverage sustainable solutions to alleviate proverty.

  • To leverage sustainable solutions to alleviate poverty.The Chicago Eco House operates a scalable social enterprise afterschool programming model for at risk youth in urban agriculture by providing them the skills and support system to be successful while remediating urban blight and fostering healthier ecosystems. The Eco House model is a solution for vulnerable neighborhoods in Chicago suffering from urban blight, high crime, and high poverty. Eco House is a viable solution for these problems by converting vacant lots into 100 percent sustainable and off grid flower farms (we use solar powered rainwater catchment for irrigation) that teach at risk youth hands on STEM skills in construction, renewable energy, irrigation, agriculture, and workforce development through our in house flower shop called Southside Blooms. Currently, the Eco House serves 80 youth per week at three flower farm sites in Chicago (Englewood, West Garfield Park, and Woodlawn). The Eco House is a Springboard Foundation grantee and has won several awards including the UL Innovative Education Award, Delta BOOST Award, and Keeping Chicago Beautifuls Community Vision Award.

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. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

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

The registration facts above come from the IRS Business Master File published 13 October 2026 and read 1 November 2026, for every organization at once. Returns through tax year 2024, the newest we have parsed for this organization.
