What Organize Now Inc Dba Organize Florida Inc does
Mission
Organize florida is comprised of dedicated organizers and members who bring communities together, one door at a time, to join in the fight for safe neighborhoods, healthy families, quality education, good jobs, justice, equality and a more representative democracy.
As stated on its FY2021 Form 990-EZ.
Programs
Community organizing - we engage in door-to-door organizing in marginalized communities to build a movement of trained leaders who will take action to hold elected officials accountable for policies that harm their communities.
Expanding democracy - we educated the public on the importance of expanding the electorate through the passage of a rights restoration ballot initiative known as amendment 4. This was done through a broadbased volunteer campaign that participated in door knocking, phone calls, and event facilitation.
Other programs - our organizers work with community members to facilitate issue campaigns in areas such as criminal justice, housing, and climate justice. This work consists of educational programming, meeting facilitation and a variety of techniques and tactics to reach marginalized communities in central florida.
The 3 programs described on its FY2021 Form 990-EZ.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2020 to 2021, from $2.7M to $0 (−100%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2020 18%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 0 of the last 3 reported years ran a deficit.
reserve
Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
