Mission
OFFICE OF PEOPLE IS AN URBAN DESIGNED NOT FOR PROFIT ORGANIZATION THAT CONSISTS OF PLANNERS, ARCHITECTS, AND BUILDERS THAT CREATES POLICIES, PROJECTS, AND PROGRAMS FOR EQUITABLE CITY GROWTH. WE BELEIVE THAT COUMMUNITY-FOCUSED SOLUTIONS ARE ENHANCED THROUGH MEANINGFUL ENGAGEMENT AND DESIGN BASED STRATEGIES. THE ACTIVITIES FALL INTO THREE BROAD BUCKETS: RESEARCH, CAPACITY BUILDING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT.
Each tax year counts once: when a return was amended, only the latest return for that period is used below (superseded returns stay listed, greyed, under Finances).
People paid by the organization

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 Greyed filings are superseded by a later return for the same period and are left out everywhere else on this page.

4 grantors reported grants to this organization, $432,675 in all, tax years 2022 to 2025. Exact: the grantor wrote this organization's EIN. Fuzzy: the grantor wrote only a name (foundations' 990-PF has no EIN field), matched to the same or a near-identical name in the same state; the name as filed is shown.

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.
