Governance

This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.

Impact evidence

Describes programs. Its tax return describes what it does but we have found no measurable results in it.

Programs described in its return (1)
  1. $128,643 spent. As 2024 began, we continued to see our organization and the neighborhood businesses slowly come back from COVID, civil unrest, violence, and property damage. We continued to see businesses vacate and commercial spaces remain vacant. The City launched an 'Artists in Vacant Storefront program' that we promoted & supported. We had four annual outdoor neighborhood events in 2024: (1) Information Tables at the Loring Park Art Festival (2) Information Tables at Twin Cities PRIDE. (3) We organized the '3rd Peace in the World Concert'. Minneapolis has a large Ukrainian population, and Loring Park has a large Russian population. This afternoon concert featured local Ukrainian and Russian bands, JD Steele, and Mill City Singers. There are many videos and photos on our Neighborhood Facebook page. (4) The 2024 National Nite Out Event was hosted by the Woman's Club of Minneapolis with food donated & served in individual packaging by INVOLVE MN and water and soda provided by the 19 Bar. Live music was featured, and there were several Neighborhood Information tables. The Nicollet Ave Safety Coalition occurs monthly virtually. We continued to keep the expanded meetings neighborhood-wide versus just the Nicollet Corridor. This Coalition engages neighborhood businesses, property owners, churches, and organizations. Also participating are Minneapolis Police, Park Police, Minneapolis Convention Center, City/County Attorneys and City/County staff. Issues and hot spots are brought up at these meetings and then worked on over the month. We also monitor court cases and file Community Impact Statements. Community meetings and gatherings were organized and held in 2024 on issues and policy stances. We testified at the legislature on the value of our Berger Fountain Restoration and funding needed. March 2024 was the CLPC Annual Meeting and Board of Directors Elections. Berger Fountain Task Force meetings were held monthly. Our work is to promote the restoration of the Fountain in partnership with the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board. We organized a walkabout with State of Minnesota and Minnesota Department of Transportation (MNDOT) on proposed partnerships and requested funding from the State for our Hennepin/Lyndale streetscape.
