That ratio is a good sign, not a scorecard. Plenty of great groups run leaner and lumpier. What matters is the extremes, and iLCP is nowhere near one.
Backed on the record by Wilburforce Foundation, latest filing FY22.
$654,608 programs, $138,086 management, $1,322 fundraising. Form 990, FY2024.
The people
Who does the work
Honesty note: leadership comes from each year’s federal filing, so it can run a year behind. Orgs that claim their page can update it same-day. Work at iLCP? Claim this page.
Those 12 volunteers are people who decided this ground was theirs to defend. If iLCP is fighting for your place too, the matchmaker will find your way in.
