Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

The Organization's primary purpose and mission is to build black political power through civic engagement and policy advocacy programs.

  • During 2024, the Organization advanced its mission by conducting civic engagement, policy advocacy, voter education, and ballot initiative activities throughout California. Program activities included field outreach, phone outreach, text outreach, and volunteer coordination to engage and educate communities on civic participation. The Organization also awarded grants to community-based organizations to support organizers, canvassers, phone bankers, voter outreach, and other civic engagement activities that furthered its exempt purpose.

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.

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

Not present in the most recent drop.

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.
