What Unemployment Information Center Inc does
Mission
Provides information and support to unemployed and low-income individuals. Organizing the unemployed to unite with labor, religious, organizations, and the community to advocate for jobs and economic justice.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
During the past year, we provided many needed services to the unemployed community struggling to get their benefits from the unemployment compensation system. From july 2024 through june 2025, we assisted over 4500 people trying to access their unemployment benefits. Our housing counselors work with tenants and homeowners and do whatever is necessary to keep them from losing their homes. They negotiate with mortgage companies and connect people with programs designed to prevent foreclosure and eviction. They also work with families and seniors facing real estate tax sales. In the last year, our housing counselors helped more than 400 families.
$379,480 spent38% of program spendingThe commuter options program continues to provide safe, reliable transportation and job opportunities to philadelphians by providing access to reach higher paying suburban jobs. In the aftermath of the pandemic, we have seen wages rise significantly for riders in the program with the median wage rising to 21.00 an hour. 95% of riders are people of color and many are immigrants who ride together in the mini vans provided by commuter options to jobs they could not reach by public transportation. There are currently 15 vanpools in the program.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 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 2022 to 2023, from $287k to $460k (+60%).
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: 2017 74% · 2018 86% · 2019 54% · 2020 51% · 2021 52% · 2022 63% · 2023 44% · 2024 44% · 2025 43%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2022: the base broadened from 2 funders to 3 funders, grant income fell $136k → $43k.
4 of 7 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 82% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of UNEMPLOYMENT INFORMATION CENTER INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. 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.
How concentrated its funding is
UNEMPLOYMENT INFORMATION CENTER INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 58% of grant income and the top three 82%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
89% 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 UNEMPLOYMENT INFORMATION CENTER INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 74% · 2018 100% · 2020 83% · 2021 95% · 2022 59% — diversifying over time.
“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
82% of UNEMPLOYMENT INFORMATION CENTER 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 $66k that is directly attributable, 92% of it comes from funders outside Pennsylvania, across 2 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $295k 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. 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.
