Overview

Mission

Helping individuals re-enter society through educational preparation, social services, and job training and placement.

What it reported doing in 2025

Reentry and diversion programs serve individuals impacted by incarceration by providing supervision, treatment services, personal development and preparing participants to secure and maintain meaningful employment. In addition, the program assists with securing release for eligible participants who are unable to afford their bail.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 70% 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

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 fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
