| Community Engagement: In the spring of 2017 WSCO hosted "Immigration Know Your Rights" sessions for West Side community members most directly affected by new national ordinaces. These sessions were hosted at local elementry schools, the Paul & Shiela Wellstone Center, Torre de San Miguel housing complex, and also with the employees of local immigrant businesses. Throughout the summer of 2017, WSCO engaged residents and families in the following ways: Planning of a new greenway park and stormwater management system on the West Side River flats, with creative art, history education, indigenous ceremony, and sunflower plantings; safe summer nights; a farmers market; and National Night Out. WSCO hosted a community debrief session of the Cinco De Mayo festival and event, which more than 40 community members attended. In the fall of 2017, WSCO hosted the West Side Action to Equity series, a three-session series on equitable development, anti-gentrification, and antidisplacement that was attended by 230 West Side residents. | $0 | $57,699 |
| Riverfront Development & Land Use/Community planning & development: In 2017 WSCO launched the West Side Action to Equity Series, beginning the process of adapting the Twin Cities Equitable Development Scorecard to the specific needs and desires of West Side residents. The West Side Equitable Development Scorecard is a tool to center the voice of community in decision making when it comes to land use planning and economic development. This work is being led by engaged residents, business owners, and anchor institutions on the West Side. When completed, the West Side Scorecard will go before the St. Paul planning commission and be added to the 10-year plan as an appendix. New developments and businesses wishing to develop on the West Side will be graded with this tool, in partnership with the City of St. Paul, to ensure development that benefits the West Side community. | $0 | $50,662 |
| Health and Environmental Justice: The HEJ committee of WSCO has worked with the City of St. Paul and the Port Authority to support a wetland restoration project in the South Port area. In addition WSCO actively began to mobilize around an emergency evacuation disaster management plan with residents in the South Port neighborhood of the West Side. This area currently has residential housing without a buffer zone, directly adjacent to high industrial use parkway along the river, with an active rail track running through. In the event an emergency evacuation is needed due to a train derailment, fire, or natural disaster, most residents are put at risk due to there only being one outlet to and from the residential area. This is why an emergency evacuation plan and potential for a new road to serve as a 2nd exit to the existing housing in this area is necessary. | $0 | $29,553 |
| Civic Engagement: WSCO co-hosted a Mayoral Candidate Forum on the West Side in partnership with the Wellstone Center and the League of Women Voters, which was attended by over 100 people. WSCO community leaders led issue topic dialogues with candidates on key priorities for West Side residents, such as affordable, and senior housing, economic development, youth led initiatives, and environmental justice. | $0 | $2,815 |

| Form 990-EZ, Header, Line B | Propel Nonprofits is a nonprofit with the mission of fueling the impact and effectiveness of nonprofits with guidance, expertise, and capital. To fulfill this mission we provide expert accounting and finance services to nonprofits in Minnesota. In May of 2018, West Side Community Organization began contracting with us for their accounting and finance needs. During the course of our engagement we found errors in a previous reporting period (2017). While the changes do not adversely affect their current situation, to provide full transparency to funders and the community we are re-stating their 2017 IRS Form 990EZ. |
