Overview

Mission

RECLAIM provides emotional, relational, and mental health support for individuals and families impacted by the criminal legal system.

What it reported doing in 2024

Providing access to safe, equitable, and culturally sustaining mental, emotional, and relational health resources and holistic support through pre-release and post-release programs to incarcerated individuals and their families.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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 total spending goes to programs and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
