Mission and programs · 2024

• Just Income: We provided $800/month to justice-impacted individuals, resulting in a 31% reduction in recidivism rate and improved financial stability. Our e-learning platform educates the public on reentry challenges and has been played around 15,000 times by users worldwide as well as being adopted into college curriculums across the nation. We conducted a webinar that launched the results of our randomized controlled trial in partnership with the University of Pennsylvania with 150 attendees which resulted in national recognition in Business Insider and other media outlets. We have consulted with over 40 cities and organizations across the nation on designing and implementing a guaranteed income program.

  Expenses $395,749 · Grants $192,000

• Just Community: We conduct storytelling workshops that challenge exclusionary narratives around poverty and incarceration and equip people with tools to use their story to make change. Through these efforts, we have deepened public understanding of the harmful stereotypes faced by people impacted by poverty and incarceration. We host monthly letter writing events where volunteers write letters to individuals currently incarcerated at our county jail. Additionally, we launched a meditation group specifically for justice-impacted individuals to have a place to heal and reflect. Our organization became certified by court services, to offer community service. People with court mandated community service can volunteer at Community Spring to do activities that are enriching like storytelling, letter writing and meditation rather than activities that are extractive.

  Expenses $147,862

• Just Power: Through eight-month paid fellowships, we empower directly impacted individuals to lead systems change. Our advocacy helped Gainesville become Floridas first city to adopt a fair chance hiring ordinance, expanding employment opportunities for 40,000 individuals with criminal records. We eliminated 15 local jail and court fees and saved families $2.5 million through free jail phone calls. We successfully advocated for public funding for reentry services and several of our fellowship alumni became the founding board of our local reentry hub, Released Reentry.

  Expenses $145,083

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.
