Mission

THE PRIMARY PURPOSE OF THIS EXEMPT ORGANIZATION IS TO PROVIDE A SAFE, STABLE AND SUCCESSFUL RE-ENTRY ENVIRONMENT/OPPORTUNITIES FOR MEN RETURNING TO THEIR FAMILIES AND THE COMMUNITY FROM INCARCERATION. THE MEN ARE PROVIDED COUNSELING, EDUCATIONAL CLASSES AND CERTIFIED HANDS-ON SKILL TRAINING, AT THIS POINT IN AUTO MECHANIC TRAINING. THE PROGRAM PROVIDES UP TO 90 DAYS IN A 10 BED TRANSITIONAL PROGRAM. IF NEEDED, THEY CAN TRANSITION UP TO 9 MONTHS INTO A 10 BED FAITH BASED PROGRAM . BOTH FACILITIES PROVIDE COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL EDUCATION SERVICES THAT CONTINUE AFTER THEY LEAVE THE FACILITY. THE ORGANIZTION HAS DEVELOPED A PROGRAM TITLED, "BETTER DECISIONS BETTER CHOICES', WHICH HELPS THE MEN FROM THE MOMENT THEY LEAVE PRISON UNTIL THEY ARE FULLY INTEGRATED INTO FAMILY AND COMMUNITY AND THEREAFTER. THEY ALSO HELP PLACE THE MEN INTO JOBS AFTER TRAINING AND RECOVERY.

Each tax year counts once: when a return was amended, only the latest return for that period is used below (superseded returns stay listed, greyed, under Finances).

People paid by the organization

5 people paid across every filing: current people first, then by total pay from this organization. Organizations counts every nonprofit each person appears on.

Officers and directors, no compensation reported

5 people listed on the returns with $0 (or no amount) in every compensation column: current people first. Hours are as filed on the latest return each person appears on.

People by year

Highest-paid independent contractors

No independent contractors reported.

Federal grants and contracts

Awards from USAspending.gov to a recipient with this organization's name and zip code. Obligations by federal fiscal year (October to September); each award links to its page on usaspending.gov.

Who gave

Contributor names are not public for this form type.

Public charities filing Form 990 or 990-EZ report large donors on Schedule B, but the IRS withholds their names and addresses from public copies. Private foundations (990-PF) are different: their contributors are public.

Finances

Newest first. Each filing: its name on one row, its figures on the row beneath. Greyed filings are superseded by a later return for the same period and are left out everywhere else on this page.

Funders of this organization

2 grantors reported grants to this organization, $635,992 in all, tax years 2022 to 2024. Exact: the grantor wrote this organization's EIN. Fuzzy: the grantor wrote only a name (foundations' 990-PF has no EIN field), matched to the same or a near-identical name in the same state; the name as filed is shown. From the latest return for each grantor and year, so amended returns aren't counted twice. CSV

Similar organizations

Ranked without any AI: same NTEE code first, then the same NTEE group; then revenue within 2x, 5x or 10x; then the same state; then similar name and mission text. Same state only · More (100)

Who funds organizations like this

Grantors that funded the 100 most similar organizations. Ranked by total given to them. Foundations (990-PF) and donor-advised fund sponsors only. Same matching as Funders above (by EIN, or by name for foundations).

Where the money went

Every expense line on each return, biggest first: Form 990 Part IX (with its program, management and fundraising columns), 990-EZ Part I, or 990-PF Part I. Event marks lines the organization itself describes as events. “Events” in each summary adds those lines, conferences and meetings, and the direct costs of fundraising events. Unusual is not the same as improper. Many of these patterns have ordinary explanations. Check the filing.
