Overview

Mission

RCND exists to empower neighbors alongside neighbors most-impacted by Durham's community violence and criminal legal system, in pursuit of a community that names, owns, and transforms the harm we do to one another. Each year, we unite over 500 diverse individuals in community-sourced practices of restorative justice, reentry support, and survivor care.

What it reported doing in 2024

RESTORATIVE JUSTICE (RJ) DURHAM, since 2018. A community fostering the transformative practice of RJ in our community and criminal legal system. Over 500 have attended monthly Community Circles, and trained volunteers have co-facilitated 157 RJ processes in misdemeanor and felony harm.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 88% 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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
