What it reported doing in 2025

The Welcome Team- This program assists those being released from the detention center in Aurora, Colorado. They provide meals, direct assistant, rides to the airport and other means of support at no cost to them. Letter writting - Provides support to people detained across the US, by matching people with volunteers to write to.

Visitation - The visitation program consists of volunteers visiting folks currently detained at the Aurora, Colorado facility.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
