Overview

Mission

This corporation is organized exclusively for charitable, religious, educational, and scientific purposes, including, for such purposes, the making of distributions to organizations that qualify as exempt organizations under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, or the corresponding section of any future federal tax code.

What it reported doing in 2025

Throughout 2025, the organization expanded its reentry and resident support programs through digital outreach, prison partnerships, community collaborations, and operational growth initiatives. The launch of The Second Chance Handbook on the Edovo platform increased access to reentry resources for incarcerated individuals nationwide, while partnerships with chaplains, law enforcement, probation offices, educational institutions, and employers strengthened resident recruitment, accountability, education, and employment opportunities. The organization also enhanced resident support through its Adopt-a-Room initiative, acquisition of a program vehicle, and new nutritional and fitness programs, while beginning expansion efforts to replicate the Restoration House model in multiple states.

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 program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and liabilities are high compared with assets.
