Activities or mission (Part I)

THE OKRA PROJECT IS A CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION WHOSE MISSION IS TO SUPPORT UNDERSERVED MEMBERS OF THE LGBTQIA + COMMUNITY, PARTICULARLY MEMBERS OF THE BLACK TRANS COMMUNITY.

  • IN 2024, THE OKRA PROJECT DEEPENED ITS COMMITMENT TO NOURISHING AND AFFIRMING BLACK TRANSGENDER, NONBINARY, AND GENDER-EXPANSIVE COMMUNITIES THROUGH DIRECT ACTION, INTENTIONAL PARTNERSHIPS, AND SUSTAINABLE PROGRAM GROWTH. OUR MENTAL HEALTH INITIATIVE EXPANDED ACCESS TO THERAPY BY DISTRIBUTING HUNDREDS OF FREE COUNSELING VOUCHERS, WITH OVERWHELMINGLY POSITIVE FEEDBACK FROM PARTICIPANTS. WE PROVIDED CONSISTENT FOOD ASSISTANCE, GROCERY STIPENDS, AND COLLABORATIONS WITH LOCAL BLACK-OWNED AND RAN ORGANIZATIONS, ENSURING CULTURALLY AFFIRMING NOURISHMENT REACHED THOSE MOST IN NEED. OUR HOUSING SUPPORT EFFORTS CONNECTED INDIVIDUALS TO SAFE AND STABLE LIVING SITUATIONS, WHILE OUR CO-COMMUNITY EVENTS FOSTERED SPACES OF JOY, HEALING, AND SOLIDARITY. THROUGH WORKSHOPS, MUTUAL AID, AND TARGETED RESOURCE DISTRIBUTION, WE NOT ONLY ADDRESSED URGENT NEEDS BUT ALSO INVESTED IN LONG-TERM RESILIENCE. THIS YEAR'S ACHIEVEMENTS REFLECT OUR CORE BELIEF THAT DIGNITY, SAFETY, AND CARE ARE NOT LUXURIES, BUT RIGHTSRIGHTS WE WILL CONTINUE TO FIGHT FOR IN THE YEAR AHEAD.

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.

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.
