Mission and programs · 2025

Mission

At Raising Arizona's Men, our mission is to empower young men in foster care by affirming their inherent value, nurturing their potential, and guiding them toward lives of purpose and character. We provide a foundation rooted in Christian principles, where honor, integrity, and responsibility are not only taught but lived. Through mentorship, discipleship, and unconditional support, we help these young men build lasting relationships with Christ and become the strong, faithful leaders they are meant to be.

Activities or mission (Part I)

The mission is to teach young men the skills to be successful as adults, to keep kids off the streets, and prepare the young men to be competent in today's world.

  • RAM's Launchpad program provides housing, food, and utilities for young men who have aged out of foster care. Participants develop work ethic, self-discipline, and budgeting skills, while receiving tailored life coaching or councelling to help them transition into independent adulthood. The average number of young men in the program is 4.

    Expenses $53,084

  • Expenses $39,411

  • Expenses $4,342

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.

The four totals the IRS asks for on Part I of the Form 990, as filed. A dash means the figure was not present on the return — not that it was zero.

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 2 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

  • Exemption revoked 15 October 2015, reinstated 15 October 2015.

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 13 October 2026 and read 1 November 2026, for every organization at once. Returns through tax year 2025, the newest we have parsed for this organization.
