Old Irving Park Community Clinic, a tax-exempt nonprofit that receives significant public funding to perform services also offered by the state, was approved to receive a $2,238 grant in FY2024, according to passed legislation data extracted from the Illinois General Assembly’s FY2024 budget (Public Act 102-6 0698).

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 2007 by George Maltezos, Dr. Charles Martinez, and Robert Ewald, Old Irving Park Community Clinic states that its mission is: “To provide quality, free, culturally competent medical and behavioral health care in a dignified and respectful manner to uninsured and underserved adults. We do this through partnerships with individual volunteers, institutional health care providers, and local businesses.”

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 $876,362 in total revenue. Of that, $38,949 came from government grants including federal, state, or local sources, making up 4.4% of total revenue.

The nonprofit listed $869,633 in contributions overall. It also reported $276,698 in non-cash contributions, such as donated goods or services, and $830,684 categorized under other contributions, which may include restricted donations, pledges, or bequests.

At the beginning of 2024, Old Irving Park Community Clinic had $710,371 in assets. By the end of 2024, that figure had changed to $1,176,170, indicating a significant 65.6% growth in overall holdings.

According to its filing, public funding to Old Irving Park Community Clinic declined in the last year, falling from $258,763 in 2023 to $38,949 in 2024—a decrease of 84.9% year-over-year.

However, a Chicago City Wire analysis found that IRS filings frequently contain discrepancies when compared with publicly disclosed government grant reports and budgets.

Old Irving Park Community Clinic 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.
