Mission
Bushwick Housing Independence Project (BHIP) builds the collective strength, stability, visibility and self-determination of Bushwicks working class and immigrant renters. BHIPs anti- displacement work is grounded in a commitment to maintaining the social and cultural fabric of Bushwick, not just preserving individual homes but also history, culture and community networks- the fabric of the neighborhood.

Who gave
Contributor names are not public for this form type.
Public charities filing Form 990 or 990-EZ report large donors on Schedule B, but the IRS withholds their names and addresses from public copies. Private foundations (990-PF) are different: their contributors are public.
Finances
Newest first. Each filing: its name on one row, its figures on the row beneath. Greyed filings are superseded by a later return for the same period and are left out everywhere else on this page.

Where the money went
Every expense line on each return, biggest first: Form 990 Part IX (with its program, management and fundraising columns), 990-EZ Part I, or 990-PF Part I. Event marks lines the organization itself describes as events. “Events” in each summary adds those lines, conferences and meetings, and the direct costs of fundraising events. Unusual is not the same as improper. Many of these patterns have ordinary explanations. Check the filing.
