Activities or mission (Part I)

SEE SCHEDULE O

  • PRE RELEASE:For entry into the Organization's wraparound, holistic Pre-Release program, a woman must anticipate settling in Mecklenburg County, NC or the surrounding area upon her release, demonstrate a genuine desire to change, and havea minimum of two years remaining on her sentence. Throughout her time as a Pre-Release client, she works closely with the Programs Team and her Change Coach (case manager) to create a Vision Plan, with goals and action steps as well as work through a 10 module Curriculum, which help a woman focus on personal growth: mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually to help prepare her for Re-Entry into the community. Each woman is also served spiritually and encouraged by at least two dedicated volunteers. While a woman is incarcerated, her family qualifies to receive support services such as Christmas gifts as well as referrals for food, furnitureand other servicesfrom partnering agencies. As a woman enters her last year prior to release, the Organization works with her to provide guidance and education on housing, finances, job readiness, identification recovery as well as peer mentoring. The Coach ensures a written Vision Plan for Re-Entry is in place, and provides a church and Bible study. The Organization serves 40-45 Pre- Release women each year.RE-ENTRY:As a woman is released from prison, if she has opted into the Organization's Re-Entry program, she is provided holistic programs and services as she re-enters Charlotte or the surrounding community. In addition to the Re-Entry Vision Plan, with goals and a plan of action, the client is provided case management, professional counseling, Re-Entry coaching, transportation, family support, housing (upon qualification) and peer mentoring as well as referrals to partnering agencies. The objective for each woman is a transformed life marked by spiritual growth, healthy decisions, self-sufficiency, and contribution to her community. If she does not opt into the Organization's Re-Entry program, she is still eligible to receive referrals to partnering agencies.Following approximately 2 years in the Re-Entry Program, the clients become Legacy Clients who continue to be supported by referrals to partnering agencies and invitations to all Changed Choices events.The Organization serves approximately12 Re-Entry clients and 25-35 children/youth each year.

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.

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

The 10 largest by cash amount. The API serves every itemized grant.

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.
