1 other organization in the IRS Business Master File lists the same street address. matched by us

We match the street line and ZIP code as the IRS gives them, ignoring case and outer spaces and nothing else, so "AVE" and "AVENUE" count as different streets and this list can miss some. A shared address can mean related organizations or a shared office, but it can also be a registered agent, a mail drop or a service provider holding mail for unrelated clients. It is not, by itself, evidence that two organizations are connected.

Mission

INTERFAITH ACTION FOR HUMAN RIGHTS(IAHR) REPRESENTS PEOPLE OF FAITH AND ALLIES WHO EDUCATE AND ADVOCATE IN MARYLAND, DC, AND VIRGINIA FOR CORRECTIONS SYSTEMS TO ABOLISH UNNECESSARILY PUNITIVE PRACTICES SUCH AS SOLITARY CONFINEMENT AND TO INSTEAD FOCUS ON REHABILITATION AND SUCCESSFUL REENTRY OF OUR CITIZENS.

  • EDUCATION AND GRASSROOTS ORGANIZING: PUBLIC AWARENESS OF OUR ISSUES IS THE FOUNDATION FOR ALL OUR PROGRESS. OUR BEST ALLY IS A COMPASSIONATE ELECTORATE THAT IS WELL INFORMED ON THE CONDITIONS OF INCARCERATION. OVER THE LAST YEAR, IAHR HAS SPONSORED INNOVATIVE ONLINE PROGRAMMING REGARDING CONDITIONS OF CONFINEMENT INCLUDING INTERVIEWS WITH SIGNIFICANT AUTHORS, PROGRESSIVE PRACTITIONERS, AND RETURNING CITIZENS. IAHR HAS CONTINUED TO ADD NEW PARTNERS TO ITS WORK WHICH NOW INCLUDE ARNOLD & PORTER, RIGHTS BEHIND BARS, FREE MINDS BOOK CLUB AND WRITING WORKSHOP, MUSLIM ADVOCATES, AND THE VIRGINIA INTERFAITH CENTER FOR PUBLIC POLICY. WE ALSO CONTINUED TO BUILD OUR ADVISORY COUNCIL OF OVER 20 FAITH LEADERS IN OUR REGION, TO HELP GUIDE AND ASSIST IAHR IN ITS WORK AND COMMUNITY OUTREACH

  • ADVOCACY: IN 2022, THE VIRGINIA GENERAL ASSEMBLY TOOK ANOTHER STEP FORWARD TOWARD ENDING SOLITARY CONFINEMENT IN THE STATES PRISONS. FOR THE SECOND YEAR IN A ROW, THE VIRGINIA SENATE VOTED TO LIMIT SOLITARY CONFINEMENT TO NO MORE THAN 15 CONSECUTIVE DAYS, PASSING SB108. THIS BILL WAS WRITTEN BY THE VIRGINIA COALITION ON SOLITARY CONFINEMENT, ORGANIZED AND STAFFED BY IAHR. THE HOUSE OF DELEGATES, WHILE NOT READY TO JOIN THE SENATE IN IMMEDIATE REFORM, DID PASS A SUBSTITUTE, BY A UNANIMOUS VOTE, THAT RAISED THE LEGISLATIVE PRIORITY OF THE ISSUE BY ESTABLISHING A WORK GROUP TO STUDY THE USE OF RESTORATIVE HOUSING (SOLITARY CONFINEMENT) WITHIN STATE CORRECTIONAL FACILITIES AND JUVENILE CORRECTIONAL CENTERS. IN MARYLAND, DELEGATE JAZZ LEWIS (D.24TH DISTRICT) SPONSORED IAHRS LEGISLATION, HB67, THAT WOULD MANDATE THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY AND CORRECTIONAL SERVICES TO PROVIDE TRANSITIONAL SERVICES TO ANYONE IN SOLITARY CONFINEMENT SIX MONTHS PRIOR TO THEIR RELEASE. IAHR HAS PROMOTED THE BILL AS SAFEGUARDING PUBLIC SAFETY AS WELL AS PROVIDING NEEDED SERVICES TO INCARCERATED PEOPLE SOON TO BE RELEASED. THE MARYLAND SENATE PASSED HB67/SB977 WITHOUT OPPOSITION.

  • PEN PAL PROGRAM: OVER 4,600 D.C. RESIDENTS ARE INCARCERATED IN 122 PRISONS AROUND THE UNITED STATES. D.C. RESIDENTS ARE INCARCERATED IN PRISONS FROM CALIFORNIA TO FLORIDA TO UPSTATE NEW YORK. D.C. RESIDENTS IN PRISON OFTEN FEEL VERY ISOLATED SINCE THEY ARE OFTEN INCARCERATED SO FAR FROM HOME. IN 2022, APPROXIMATELY 125 IAHR VOLUNTEERS SERVED AS PEN PALS, WRITING TO AT LEAST ONE D.C. RESIDENT INCARCERATED IN A FEDERAL PRISON ONCE A MONTH FOR A YEAR. A KEY GOAL OF THE PROGRAM IS TO REDUCE THE LIKELIHOOD THAT THESE INCARCERATED PERSONS WILL COMMIT CRIMES AFTER THEY ARE RELEASED.

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 9 November 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.

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.

What this page reflects

The registration facts above come from the IRS Business Master File published 9 November 2026 and read 9 November 2026, for every organization at once. Returns through tax year 2025, the newest we have parsed for this organization.
