What Safe Streets Campaign does
Mission
The mission of safe streets is to unite and inspire youth, neighbors, and businesses to build safe, healthy, thriving communities. Safe streets fulfills our mission through implementation of two well-established programs, neighborhood organizing and youth leading change, as well as the recently developed imagine justice project. Our 11 staff members and 13 board members reflect the diversity of the pierce county community we serve.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Community mobilization-community mobilization has organized many neighborhoods and community groups throughout pierce county to take action in creating safe communities and create opportunities for resident engagement. This work has been achieved by neighborhood and community organizing, leadership development, public education and presentations, and building partnerships for a safe, healthy, thriving community. In 2024, we supported up to 125 neighborhood groups involving 616 unduplicated group members. Some of these groups were pre-pandemic groups that reactivated and choose to meet in person. All program services are open to all at no charge. We have added waste wizards (litter cleanup and beautification) program to our menu of services. We continue to distribute naloxone to community members. Safe streets partners with city of tacoma, pierce county, tacoma public schools, franklin pierce school district, tacoma police department and pierce county sheriff's department.

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. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
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 $740k to $995k (+34%).
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: 2018 63% · 2020 73% · 2021 64% · 2022 78% · 2023 62% · 2024 78%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $160k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 states 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.
