Overview

Mission

IOI volunteers serve the incarcerated returning citizens people transitioning from homelessness and those in substance abuse treatment. Mindfulness practices help our students gain clarity insight and compassion. We frame our classes as conversations and inquiries drawing on the inherent wisdom of their experience.

What it reported doing in 2024

IOI provided 6,466 student class hours of instruction in mindful meditation.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 91% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
