This appropriation represents state-level funding authorized by lawmakers, reflecting what was approved in the budget, not necessarily disbursed. The funds cover only State of Illinois support and exclude federal, local, or other public sources.
Founded in 2014 by Devonta Boston, TGI Movement states that its mission is: “To curate and cultivate Oasis-es throughout Chicago to unite youth across neighborhood boundaries dismantling Dream Deserts.”
You can learn more about the organization at its website.
In its most recent IRS Form 990 filing filing for tax year 2024, the organization reported $854,691 in total revenue. Of that, $419,153 came from government grants including federal, state, or local sources, making up 49% of total revenue.
The nonprofit listed $854,691 in contributions overall. It also reported $435,538 categorized under other contributions, which may include restricted donations, pledges, or bequests.
At the beginning of 2024, TGI Movement had $0 in assets.
However, a Chicago City Wire analysis found that IRS filings frequently contain discrepancies when compared with publicly disclosed government grant reports and budgets.
TGI Movement is one of hundreds of nonprofits across Illinois that receive substantial support from state taxpayers while also fundraising privately.
In 2025, Illinois lawmakers introduced House Bill 1266, also known as the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) Act. The proposal would create a new oversight body within the Office of the Auditor General tasked with identifying cost-saving measures, reviewing agency performance, and advising on audit priorities. If passed, DOGE could bring additional scrutiny and performance evaluation to taxpayer-funded organizations.
According to ProPublica, Illinois has more than 78,000 active tax-exempt organizations, including nearly 60,000 classified as charitable nonprofits. In their most recent IRS filings, these groups reported a combined revenue exceeding $156 billion.
