Activities or mission (Part I)

To bring about the sustained regeneration, improvement, and management of the physical environment by developing community-based partnerships that empower people, business, and organizations to promote environmental, economic, and social well-being.

  • Workforce Development and Training - The Workforce Development and Training program focuses on youth employment, job training, and leadership development through environmental and community improvement projects. The primary component of this program is the Green Team, a youth employment and leadership initiative that provides workforce training in environmental stewardship, landscaping, urban agriculture, food production, tree and orchard maintenance, and public space improvement projects. Participants develop job readiness, leadership skills, and environmental knowledge through service learning, technical training, and hands-on work experience. Workforce activities include maintaining community gardens, managing urban farms, streetscape and public space maintenance, and other environmental stewardship projects that provide practical job training while improving community assets.

    Expenses $253,987

  • Climate Resilience- The Climate Resilience program focuses on environmental stewardship and climate adaptation projects that improve environmental conditions and community resilience. Activities include tree planting, orchard management, riverbank restoration, invasive species removal, urban greening, and restoration of natural areas. The Organization also supports urban agriculture and green infrastructure projects that increase food access, improve environmental sustainability, and enhance climate resilience in the communities served. These projects are conducted in partnership with municipalities and community organizations and often incorporate youth workforce participation as part of hands-on environmental training.

    Expenses $196,653

  • Community Engagement - The Community Engagement program includes community outreach, volunteerism, environmental education, and youth-led community initiatives designed to promote environmental awareness, community participation, and environmental equity. Activities include volunteer events, workshops, community partnerships, and programs such as Adventure Walk and Sow & Grow. The Organization engages community members in environmental stewardship through community gardens, food distribution efforts, public space improvement projects, and volunteer-supported environmental initiatives. These efforts help increase access to fresh food, improve neighborhood spaces, and strengthen community involvement in environmental and stewardship activities.

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.

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.

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.
