What Jersey City Parks Coalition Inc does
Mission
Our organization started in 2005 as partnership between three park groups that has grown to 24 member park groups strong in 2017. A memorandum of understanding codified our partnership with the city of jersey city in 2013 and we continue to improve and build on that public private partnership. Our success would not be possible without the consistent effort and dedication of our many volunteers; the thousands of residents who continue to beautify jersey city as a result of their involvement in the big dig and other planting efforts; the parks and neighborhood groups that are stewards for their local parks, and our board of directors that keeps the organization focused and on track. Behind the scenes but no less important to all we do is the support of our donors & sponsors.
As stated on its FY2017 Form 990.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
94% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund JERSEY CITY PARKS COALITION INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2021 100% · 2022 100% — broadly stable.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
94% of JERSEY CITY PARKS COALITION INC's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $950 that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside New Jersey, across 1 state.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $16k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
