WITH VERY LITTLE OVERHEAD, WE ARE ABLE TO SPEND OUR TIME WORKING DIRECTLY ON OUR PROGRAMS, WHERE WE GET TO ENGAGE DIRECTLY WITH OUR COMMUNITY.

WE OFFER A RANGE OF SERVICES, DRAWING FROM OUR PAST WORK AND TAILORED TO PROJECT NEEDS. IN 2024, WE OPERATED A FREE POP-UP SAUNA DOWNTOWN BOSTON, CONVERTED A REDUNDANT SLIP LANE INTO A PEDESTRIAN PLAZA, AND ENLIVENED A BRIDGE UNDERPASS WITH MURALS AND INFORMATIONAL SIGNS. 55044 COMMUNITY POP-UPS:IN OUR COMMUNITY POP-UPS PROGRAM WE WORK ALONGSIDE COMMUNITIES TO ACTIVATE VACANT PROPERTIES AND TRANSFORM THEM INTO COMMUNAL LIVING ROOMS, THIRD SPACES, AND HOSTS FOR REGULAR PROGRAMMING. THEY SERVE AS HUBS FOR ON-THE-GROUND RESEARCH TO DETERMINE LONG-TERM PLACEMAKING OPPORTUNITIES. IN 2024, WE WORKED WITH THE UNION SQUARE NEIGHBORHOOD COUNCIL TO OPEN A POP-UP COMMUNITY SPACE IN A FORMERLY-VACANT STOREFRONT. DURING THE 5 MONTHS IT WAS OPEN, WE HAD OVER 3,000 VISITORS TO THE SPACE. WE FOUND THAT SYSTEMICALLY MARGINALIZED COMMUNITIES FOUND A COMFORTABLE, WELCOMING, AND SAFE SPACE TO CONNECT OVER SHARED IDENTITY, PEOPLE FORMED RELATIONSHIPS ACROSS DIFFERENCES, THE UNION SQUARE COMMUNITY RETAINED ITS IDENTITY IN THE MIDST OF NEIGHBORHOOD CHANGE. 647645 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 5 0 1 10 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 6 6 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 MA X AARON GREINER 6173027423 16 UNION SQUARE SOMERVILLE MA 02143 DIANA NAVARRETE-RACKAUCKAS PRESIDENT 0.50 X X 0 0 0 STACEY SIMON TREASURER 0.38 X X 0 0 0 SABRINA DORSAINVIL CLERK 0.38 X X 0 0 0 COLIN AMOS BOARD MEMBER 0.38 X X 0 0 0 KRISTEN JEFFERS BOARD MEMBER 0.38 X 0 0 0 LINNEA LAUX BOARD MEMBER 0.38 X 0 0 0 AARON GREINER EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 X 73995 0 3496 73995 0 3496 0 0 0 0 0 455994 230154 686148 PROGRAM REVENUE 713990 86345 86345 86345 772493 86345 0 0 74742 63531 7474 3737 270833 262313 5680 2840 15133 14032 734 367 30569 28823 1164 582 5000 5000 64183 64183 2686 2686 8593 8248 345 12008 12008 37122 36565 371 186 1679 1679 4007 3091 916 BUILDOUT EXPENSES 150396 150396 EVENTS 18746 18746 INTERNSHIP STIPEND 1600 1600 697297 647645 41595 8057 468137 359927 24541 53843 36466 11065 529144 424835 11594 9620 150000 0 36466 11065 198060 20685 X 331084 404150 331084 404150 529144 424835 75196 -2130 0 X X 1 X 0 1 0 X 99835 304372 249569 414084 686148 1754008 8548 80727 23871 86345 199491 99835 312920 330296 437955 772493 1953499 0 0 0 1953499 99835 312920 330296 437955 772493 1953499 1.00000 1.00000 0.00000 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 LEASE LIABILITY 11065 11065 FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11B ALL MEMBERS OF THE GOVERNING BODY WERE SENT THE FORM 990 TO REVIEW.
