Overview

Mission

Native American Reentry Service's mission is to address barriers faced by Native people who find themselves struggling to transition from a life of incarceration to one of healthy and productive freedom. Our goal is to support successful reintegration into Native American/Aboriginal reservation and urban communities and reduce recidivism through Native American/Aboriginal traditional means.

What it reported doing in 2024

Commerce Reentry-To reduce recidivism rates by increasing access to culturally safe and responsible reentry case management services that incorporate traditional native and indigenous healing practices to increase capacity to deliver programs staffed by formerly incarcerated native people with successful reentry and reintegration lived experience.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 89% of the money available for current operations came from other operating 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

MIXED - 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 a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
