Mission and programs · 2025

Mission

To help people of all colors enhance their own economic and educational goals

  • The Illinois Youth Investment program provides targeted long-term employment and youth apprenticeship programs. Its services deliver a holistic approach to the workforce environment including personal development, job training, work-based learning, supportive services, mentoring and coaching services to young adults ages 18-24. IYIP focuses on executive functioning and self-regulation skill development to enable planning, memory and multi-tasking capabilities of its youth.

    Expenses $500,380

  • Homeless Veterans Reintegration program HVRP provides employment, training, and housing linkage services for homeless veteran populations identified as young adults, women with children, chronic homeless and recently incarcerated. HVRP serves urban communities on the south and west side of Chicago whose communities range from 20 - 50 below poverty levels and experience 30 - 52 unemployment rates.

    Expenses $384,750

  • The Rapid Re-Housing RRH program is a short-term maximum 12 months, with the possibility of extending for an additional 12 months rental subsidy program. It was designed by the federal department of housing and urban development HUD to serve homeless families throughout the city of Chicago. Of Color Inc serves sixty families in helping them to secure stable housing to avoid homelessness in the future.

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. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

The four totals the IRS asks for on Part I of the Form 990, as filed. A dash means the figure was not present on the return — not that it was zero.

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.

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

The 10 largest by cash amount. The API serves every itemized grant.

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

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 2025, the newest we have parsed for this organization.
