WE DO THIS WORK IN PURSUIT OF OUR VISION TO CREATE UNLIMITED OPPORTUNITIES FOR WOMEN AND TO... [CONTINUED ON SCH O]THE MISSION OF FRESH START DISRUPT CYCLES OF INTERGENERATIONAL POVERTY. THE WOMEN WE SERVE ARE UNEMPLOYED OR UNDER-EMPLOYED WORKING IN LOW-WAGE JOBS WITHOUT FINANCIAL STABILITY, MOST ARE MOTHERS ESCAPING DOMESTIC ABUSE AND TRAUMA. MANY ARE SINGLE MOMS WHO STRUGGLE TO PROVIDE FOR THEIR CHILDREN AND TO COVER BASIC NEEDS LIKE FOOD AND HOUSING. FRESH START'S IMPACT PROGRAM HELPS WOMEN DEVELOP A PERSONALIZED PATH OUT OF POVERTY AND ACROSS THE BRIDGE TO SELF-SUFFICIENCY. THE SCIENCE-BASED AND EVIDENCE INFORMED MODEL PROVIDES HOLISTIC WRAP-AROUND SERVICES ACROSS FIVE KEY PILLARS OF A WOMAN'S LIFE AND EMPOWERS HER TO ACHIEVE GOALS AND BEHAVIORAL CHANGES NECESSARY TO REACH AND SUSTAIN ECONOMIC MOBILITY AND INDEPENDENCE.

Each tax year counts once: when a return was amended, only the latest return for that period is used below (superseded returns stay listed, greyed, under Finances).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

12 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

96 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

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 Greyed filings are superseded by a later return for the same period and are left out everywhere else on this page.

Connected to

Organizations that list some of the same people on their returns (officers, directors, key employees on this organization’s latest return), and related organizations it lists on Schedule R.

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.
