Mission and programs · 2024

• NEIGHBORSPACE CONTINUES TO ASSIST DOZENS OF BLOCK CLUBS, CHURCH GROUPS AND NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS WHO HAVE SET OUT TO RECLAIM THE UNUSED LOTS IN THEIR COMMUNITIES ACCROSS CHICAGO. OUT OF FIELDS OF WEEDS THEY CREATE ROWS OF VEGETABLES. OUT OF PLACES USED FOR DUMPING GARBAGE THEY CREATE PLACES TO RECONNECT WITH NATURE. UNFORTUNATELY, MANY OF THESE URBAN OASES DISAPPEAR QUICKLY OR ARE LOST FOREVER DUE TO REDEVELOPMENT OR LACK OF RESOURCES. THIS IS WHERE NEIGHBORSPACE COMES IN. AS CHICAGO'S NONPROFIT LAND TRUST FOR COMMUNITY GARDENS THEY ARE HERE TO ENSURE THAT THESE COMMUNITY-DRIVEN EFFORTS ARE NOT FLEETING; THAT THE COMMUNITY'S HARD WORK AND VISION LIVES ON, ESPECIALLY IN THOSE AREAS WITH THE LEAST AMOUNT OF OPEN SPACE. SINCE 1996 NEIGHBORSPACE HAS BEEN ABLE TO PRESERVE OVER 120 NEIGHBORHOOD GARDENS, EACH ONE A UNIQUE EXPRESSION OF THE COMMUNITY THAT CREATED IT. IN 2024 NEIGHBORSPACE WILL CONTINUE TO GROW. THEY ARE WORKING TO PROTECT VISIONARY COMMUNITY GARDEN ACROSS THE CITY, IN SOUTH SHORE, AUSTIN, AVONDALE, LITTLE VILLAGE AND BEYOND.

As filed on the 2024 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

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.

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.
