JERSEY CITY PARKS COALITION INC
EIN 16-1725319 · Natural Resources Conservation & Protection (C30)
What they do
OUR ORGANIZATION STARTED IN 2005 AS PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN THREE PARK GROUPS THAT HAS GROWN TO 24 MEMBER PARK GROUPS STRONG IN 2017. A MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING CODIFIED OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CITY OF JERSEY CITY IN 2013 AND WE CONTINUE TO IMPROVE AND BUILD ON THAT PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP. OUR SUCCESS WOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE WITHOUT THE CONSISTENT EFFORT AND DEDICATION OF OUR MANY VOLUNTEERS; THE THOUSANDS OF RESIDENTS WHO CONTINUE TO BEAUTIFY JERSEY CITY AS A RESULT OF THEIR INVOLVEMENT IN THE BIG DIG AND OTHER PLANTING EFFORTS; THE PARKS AND NEIGHBORHOOD GROUPS THAT ARE STEWARDS FOR THEIR LOCAL PARKS, AND OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS THAT KEEPS THE ORGANIZATION FOCUSED AND ON TRACK. BEHIND THE SCENES BUT NO LESS IMPORTANT TO ALL WE DO IS THE SUPPORT OF OUR DONORS & SPONSORS.
Should I give to this charity?

Money made simple
Ask these three easy questions
- Who did you help? Ask for a recent story or report that shows real results.
- What will my money do? Ask exactly what your gift will pay for.
- Is this really the charity? Give only through its official website or confirmed phone number.
Bottom line: Do not decide from a name, mission statement, or tax status alone. Look at where the money went, then ask what changed, who was helped, and what your gift will do. YouCanGiveBack does not endorse or grade organizations.
Financial picture
A plain-language look at the latest Form 990 figures available. These numbers help you ask better questions; they do not, by themselves, rate whether a charity is good or bad.
How each $100 of revenue was used
The large number compares each expense with revenue. The smaller number shows its share of total expenses.
Expenses were greater than revenue, so the colored ring fills the available $100 and the total above 100% is shown below.
