Mission
The Phoenix Local Organizing Committee is a group of people working to end the poverty and lack that plague most of our communities. By pooling our resources banking Black, supporting Black businesses, candidates for local office, redeeming the power of our arts and cultural expression and more, we are implementing a powerful program of self sufficiency. While government policy can help to resolve our many issues, we know by now that politicians wont save us. We know that our community is not a priority for government agencies if even a concern. We are the saviors weve been looking for. The Phoenix Local Organizing Committee is turning our focus inward, to love, serve, and depend on ourselves.
Each tax year counts once: when a return was amended, only the latest return for that period is used below (superseded returns stay listed, greyed, under Finances).

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 Greyed filings are superseded by a later return for the same period and are left out everywhere else on this page.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.
