Overview
Mission
To organize a community network of cross-sector partners that connects individuals, organizations, and institutions most directly affected by the criminal justice system and to build models for "integrative justice communities" to confront the crisis of incarceration and the challenges of reintegration through leadership development, education, and advocacy, and other purposes.
What it reported doing in 2011
To organize people and ideas into networks and action to bring about systematic change in the criminal justice system
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
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
