Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

The Organizations mission is to reduce recidivism through supportive services and encourage desistance with opportunities. Founded by a returning citizen, Thomas Ridley, the Organization aims to instill a real sense of hope to those returning home

Activities or mission (Part I)

The Organizations mission is to reduce recidivism through supportive services and encourage desistance with opportunities.

  • Outreach: Providing legal assistance to indigent communities living in Marion County facing drivers license suspensions and in need of expungement services. Our goal is to serve Hoosiers living in low-income, hot spot zones and those re-entering society from jail or prison.

    Expenses $948,781 · Grants $131,229

  • Peer Mentoring: The Organization's mentoring model includes three monthly touch points, barrier buster assistance, and the creation of prosocial community support for enrolled participants. The Organization works so that every mentee leaves the program feeling empowered, supported and connected to community resources.

    Expenses $307,067

  • Violence Reduction / Prevention: Program targeting individuals living in hot spot zones and identified by criminal justice stakeholders for being affiliated, associated, or involved with violence in Indianapolis. The program will offer a mix of lived-experience mentoring, job readiness, and social services. The organization can saturate the cohort with badly needed services all in one place. The project design employs a three-pronged approach.

    Expenses $88,648

  • Job Readiness: Ensure that participants are equipped with the skills necessary to secure gainful employment. The Organization created the RAP3 curriculum (Resume, Application, Presentation, Probation, and Permanent Hire) to cover the steps involved in the job seeking process. RAP3 employs evidence-based methods and best practices such as prosocial modeling, collaborative problem-solving, incremental skill-building and the establishment of trust with an infusion of hope.

    Expenses $53,728

As filed on the 2024 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

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.

As filed, from the IRS e-Postcard file of 26 October 2026. The IRS publishes only each organization's most recent postcard, so earlier years are not shown. A 990-N carries no financial detail. The postcard also gives the principal officer's address, which is not shown here.

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.

Grants received

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.

The registration facts above come from the IRS Business Master File published 13 October 2026 and read 29 October 2026, for every organization at once. Returns through tax year 2024, the newest we have parsed for this organization.
