2 other organizations in the IRS Business Master File list the same street address. matched by us

We match the street line and ZIP code as the IRS gives them, ignoring case and outer spaces and nothing else, so "AVE" and "AVENUE" count as different streets and this list can miss some. A shared address can mean related organizations or a shared office, but it can also be a registered agent, a mail drop or a service provider holding mail for unrelated clients. It is not, by itself, evidence that two organizations are connected.

Mission and programs · 2024

• Community Care: In 2024, El Mercadito, our indoor markets, along with our mobile fresh markets provided food provision to the families in the communities we serve. In 2024, our distribution hubs across the neighborhood served 128,713 individuals. Our food pantry operates 5 days a week throughout our service areas. We offered English literacy classes for community members and case management for families that visit our pantry through partnerships with other community organizations. In response to the migrant crisis, we launched our New Vecinos program and shelter work. Through this program, NLC provides essential support and resources to individuals and families in need, focusing on sustainable housing solutions. In the past year, we moved 3,357 families and 15,116 individuals into apartments through the city. We distributed 345,779 emergency items, including jackets, hygiene kits and diapers within 24 hours of request. We operated three family shelters in the following neighborhoods: Midway, Hyde Park and Little Village caring for 3,855 people, providing programming and resources to help stabilize families to successful exit the shelter.

  Expenses $22,448,792 · Grants $10,768,280 · Revenue $322

• Peacemaking: NLC continued to provide street outreach, crisis response, mediation, hospital response, violence interruption, victim advocacy, case management, and mentoring services for young people in Little Village, Far East Side, Brighton Park and Humboldt Park. Our team engaged young people in small groups, one on one sessions, and programming. In 2024, 411 youth received mentoring services throughout the year. Approximately, 511 engaged in weekly programming with our restorative justice department. The Street Outreach staff responded to 100% of all critical incidents in our service area and spent 3,683 hours canvassing the streets working with high-risk key individuals. Our victim advocates provided services to 108 individuals that were either victims of violence or family members of those who were killed due to gun violence. They assisted families and victims in submitting 25 victim compensation applications and supported with 37 funerals.

  Expenses $4,766,098 · Grants $1,616,505

• Mentoring: In 2024, NLC served 2,791 youth through mentoring services and/or weekly programming. Of those 1,074 received one on one mentoring sessions. We provided weekly in-school programming to 5 local schools. We partnered with other agencies to provide cognitive behavioral therapy in the schools as part of our programming. Launched in 2024, The Heart Project supports youth mental health through art-based mentorship. Mentors are available four days a week at the local high school, offering open studio sessions during lunch and free periods. These sessions provide a safe, creative space for students to reflect, express themselves, and heal. NLC also expanded our entrepreneurship mentoring program to serve young ladies in Little Village in addition to Humboldt Park. Participants learn entrepreneurship, marketing, and product creation through jewelry-making, while also building leadership, financial literacy, and faith-based values. The program offers trauma-informed, promoting resilience and self-worth. Girls engage in small group mentoring, leadership, service projects, and creative experiences like workshops and adventure therapy. Youth voice and leadership are central, with girls planning activities and sharing their stories. Ongoing partnerships with schools and organizations help expand outreach and impact.

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.
