Vendors earn an average of $45/day, with the highest performing vendors reporting single day earnings up to $400.In 2014, Street Sense continued to incubate new platforms for self-expression and the production of content aimed at public engagement. By year's end, we were producing content in print, film, illustration and theater and staged performance. 40 un-duplicated vendors participated in workshops that produce this content. These workshops are led by artists in residence, practicing professionals who donate their time to the organization. These workshops provide homeless men and women a forum to express their views while raising their self esteem. In 2014, the theater workshop led to two public performances before a total audience of 180 persons. Street Sense encourages public debate about homelessness and poverty through their newspaper published bi-weekly with per issue circulation of 12,000, consisting of 16 pages of local news features, poetry and editorials.Street Sense also has an active presence on social media, promoting their print content as well as material from other independent sources on the issue of homelessness and extreme poverty. In 2014, Street Sense hosted one community forum on an issue related to homelessness and attendance was 145 persons.In 2014, to provide economic opportunities to persons who are homeless, a new workforce development model was piloted. The model teaches persons to write blogs for hire in the emerging market of digital content production. If successful, this model will be expanded in the future. 227234 true true false false false false false false false true false false false false true true false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false true 0 0 true 4 true false false false false false true true false false false false X 8 8 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false false X Brian Carome 2023472006 1317 G Street NW Washington DC 20005 Elizabeth Canizares Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Margaret Chapman President 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Allison Sherry Vice President 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Heidi Keller Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Max Gaujean Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Reed Sandridge Secretary 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Michael Stoops Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Robyn Kerr Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Brian Carome Executive director 40.00 0.00 X 81250 0 0 81250 0 0 0 false false false 8145 232203 32050 240348 Paper salesadvertising 511110 58934 58934 58934 15546 8145 14437 1109 1109 other revenue 900099 78 78 78 300469 59012 0 1109 81249 65000 12187 4062 70042 56034 10506 3502 11148 8919 1672 557 12719 10175 1908 636 9238 7390 1386 462 656 525 98 33 43767 35014 6565 2188 2187 1750 328 109 18000 14400 2700 900 235 188 35 12 684 547 103 34 12366 9893 1855 618 3676 2941 551 184 Program costs 9557 7646 1433 478 Vendor donation expense 4480 3584 672 224 fundraising 4035 3228 605 202 284039 227234 42604 14201 65837 57158 15502 30192 2914 2526 62546 25524 18938 37022 103191 126898 20867 29691 1544 22411 29691 X 74762 93084 6018 4123 80780 97207 103191 126898 16430 -3 0 X false true X true false X 182890 155615 188338 216116 240348 983307 182890 155615 188338 216116 240348 983307 23168 960139 983307 358283 0.97640 0.99000 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 62546 25524 37022 37022 X 453660 138754 14437 153191 300469 300469 437230 138754 14437 153191 284039 284039 Other revenues not included on Form 990 (Part XI, line 2d) special event revenue is netted against event expenses Other expenses not included on Form 990 (Part XII, line 2d) special event expenses are netted against event revenue Footnote for uncertain tax position under FIN 48 (Part X) For the year ended December 31, 2014, Street Sense has documented its consideration of FASB ASC 740-10 and determined that no material uncertain tax positions qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.
