• HEALTHY LIVING: OUR HEALTHY LIVING PROGRAM IS OPEN TO ANYONE STRUGGLING WITH SUBSTANCE ABUSE DISORDERS (SUD). THE MIDNIGHT MISSION'S HOLISTIC APPROACH TO RECOVERY IS BASED ON THE ABSTINENCE SOCIAL MODEL OF 12-STEP RECOVERY IN A CONGREGATE LIVING SETTING. WE COMBINE SOCIAL MODEL ABSTINENCE WITH EDUCATION, MEDICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES, COMMUNITY VOLUNTEER THERAPY, AND PARTICIPATION IN AN ABSTINENCE-BASED 12-STEP COMMUNITY. SERVICES ARE PROVIDED IN A STRUCTURED ENVIRONMENT THAT IS PERSON-CENTERED, TRAUMA INFORMED, AND INCLUDES GOAL PLANNING, EDUCATION, ACCOUNTABILITY, AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF A POSITIVE SOBER SUPPORT NETWORK. CASE MANAGEMENT IS DESIGNED TO BUILD ON PERSONAL STRENGTHS, IDENTIFY POTENTIAL CHALLENGES, AND WORK TOWARD CHANGING NEGATIVE PATTERNS OF THINKING AND BEHAVIOR. EDUCATION GROUPS INCLUDE RELAPSE PREVENTION, HEALTH EDUCATION, LIFE SKILLS AND RECOVERY PLANNING. PERSONAL ACCOUNTABILITY AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY ARE KEY COMPONENTS OF THIS SERVICE-RICH PROGRAM. DURING FISCAL YEAR 2024 - 2025, 187 PARTICIPANTS WERE SERVED IN THE HEALTHY LIVING PROGRAM. DURING THIS PERIOD, 24% SUCCESSFULLY TRANSITIONED OUT OF THE PROGRAM WITH THE TOOLS NEEDED TO STAY SOBER.

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. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. 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. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Taxable family

From Schedule R Parts I, III and IV: entities that legally are the filer, and taxable partnerships, corporations and trusts it is related to. These record ownership and control, not shared board members or money.

California fundraising campaigns

Campaigns run by paid fundraisers, commercial coventurers and thrift stores naming this organization, as California published them. Both figures are as filed, and what the first one counts depends on the campaign type — a coventurer or a thrift store files its own sales rather than money collected for the charity. The 990 reports this only as a yearly total, never per campaign.

• JASON LESNER

  $133,696 raised

  2019 · Commercial Fundraiser

  $65,244 to charity

• RITEWAY CHARITY SERVICES INC.

  $0 raised

  2019 · CF Vehicle Donation Program

  $0 to charity

Amounts are as filed and do not add up: a commercial coventurer reports one promotion's whole gross once for each charity that shared in it. A campaign may also name more than one registered charity, in which case it appears on each.
