This address is a suite or unit (STE 1800). Organizations that share one are often clients of the same office-services firm, accountant or registered agent rather than related to each other.

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

NEW BREATH FOUNDATION PROVIDES PIVOTAL GRASSROOTS ORGANIZATIONS THE SUSTAINABLE RESOURCES THEY NEED TO GIVE NEW BEGINNINGS TO AANHPIS HARMED BY INCARCERATION, DEPORTATION, AND SYSTEMS OF VIOLENCE IN THE U.S.

  • TARGETED GRANTMAKING: NBF GRANTS GRASSROOTS AANHPI ORGANIZATIONS WITH DEMONSTRATED EXPERIENCE LEADING RACIAL JUSTICE EFFORTS WHILE PROMOTING LEADERSHIP OF THE FORMERLY INCARCERATED, CRIMINALIZED COMMUNITIES, AND THOSE IMPACTED BY DETENTION AND DEPORTATION. MOST GRANTEES HAVE ANNUAL BUDGETS UNDER 1 MILLION. IN 2024, NBF AND COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS IDENTIFIED FOUR ORGANIZATIONS TO RECEIVE BETWEEN 160,000-210,000 EACH THROUGH THE WE GOT US FUND, A DONOR-ADVISED FUND MANAGED BY THE EAST BAY COMMUNITY FOUNDATION. NINE RETURNING GRANTEE ORGANIZATIONS WERE AWARDED BETWEEN 30,000 AND 90,000 AS WELL. THROUGH THE NEW BREATH FUND, MANAGED BY NBF, SIX ORGANIZATIONS RECEIVED 20,000 GENERAL GRANTS, AND 19 ORGANIZATIONS RECEIVED STAFF DISCRETIONARY GRANTS FROM 1000-5000.

  • GRANTEE ORGANIZING, CAPACITY & RESOURCE BUILDING: NBF CONTINUES TO BUILD THE CAPACITY OF OUR GRASSROOTS NONPROFIT PARTNERS. WE HAVE LEVERAGED RESOURCES FOR GRANTEES THROUGH INTRODUCTIONS TO OTHER FUNDERS, COACHES, CAPACITY ASSESSMENTS, AND ADVISING. IN 2024, WE CONTINUED OUR CAPACITY- BUILDING SUPPORT FOR ALL WE GOT US FUND GRANTEES, INCLUDING UP TO 20 HOURS FOR EACH ORGANIZATION IN DIRECT COACHING SERVICES, A SELF- ADMINISTERED ASSESSMENT TOOL VALUED AT 500 PER ORGANIZATION, AND OUR IN-PERSON CONVENING, WHICH BROUGHT TOGETHER 24 ORGANIZATIONS ACROSS THE COUNTRY FOR 3 DAYS TO LEARN, STRATEGIZE, AND COLLABORATE. AT THE END OF 2024 WE EVALUATED OUR CAPACITY BUILDING. 100% OF GRANTEES RESPONDED POSITIVELY, AND WE FOUND HIGH RATES OF PROGRAM PARTICIPATION.

  • LEADERSHIP PATHWAYS: FROM ITS INCEPTION, NBF WAS DESIGNED AS A VEHICLE FOR LEADERSHIP PATHWAYS TO PHILANTHROPY FOR AANHPI COMMUNITIES DIRECTLY IMPACTED BY VIOLENCE DUE TO THE CRIMINAL-LEGAL AND DEPORTATION SYSTEMS. ONE WAY IS THROUGH LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT SUPPORT TO GRANTEES AND MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE (CAC). WE DEVELOPED OUR PARTICIPATORY GRANTMAKING PROCESS WITH CAC MEMBERS, WHO SHARE RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE FIELD, KEY STRATEGIES, AND POSSIBLE GRANTEES. 75% OF THE CAC ARE JUSTICE SYSTEM-IMPACTED AND VIOLENCE-IMPACTED LEADERS. THE CAC IS ITSELF A VEHICLE TO INCREASE PARTICIPATION IN PHILANTHROPY FOR FOLKS FROM MARGINALIZED AANHPI COMMUNITIES. PLEASE SEE SCHEDULE O FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

  • CONTINUED FROM PAGE 2 RACIAL SOLIDARITY, EDUCATION, AND COMMUNITY ADVOCACY IN 2023, WE HAVE BEEN A PART OF COALITIONS WITH FUNDERS AND GRASSROOTS ORGANIZATIONAL PARTNERS SUPPORTING RACIAL SOLIDARITY BETWEEN AANHPI AND OTHER BIPOC COMMUNITIES. THESE INCLUDE: - SEED CHANGE, FORMERLY KNOWN AS STATEWIDE CULTURAL STRATEGY WORKING GROUP -THE AAPI CEOS & TRUSTEES GROUP WITH ASIAN AMERICAN PRACTITIONERS IN PHILANTHROPY -THE CALIFORNIA CRIMINAL JUSTICE FUNDERS GROUP -SOLIDAIRE NETWORK -DONORS OF COLOR NETWORK WE ARE ALSO SUPPORTING VIOLENCE PREVENTION AND SOLIDARITY WORK THROUGH FUNDING AND CONVENING. ---------------------- DEPORTATION SUPPORT, INCARCERATION & REENTRY KITES TO SOUTHEAST ASIA IS A COALITION CREATED BETWEEN NEW BREATH FOUNDATION, NEW LIGHT WELLNESS, ASIAN PRISONER SUPPORT COMMITTEE, MN8, AND ORGANIZERS WHO WORK WITH FORMERLY INCARCERATED AND DEPORTED CAMBODIANS. NEW LIGHT WELLNESS IS A MENTAL HEALTH OUTREACH PROGRAM SERVING THOSE DEPORTED TO CAMBODIA, SEEDED BY A GRANT FROM NEW BREATH FOUNDATION. NEW LIGHT SERVES OVER 50 DIRECTLY-IMPACTED PERSONS IN THE US AND OVER 100 DIRECTLY-IMPACTED PARTICIPANTS IN CAMBODIA THROUGH ONE-ON-ONE SESSIONS, PEER SUPPORT GROUPS, ADVOCACY WORKSHOPS, AND OTHER COMMUNITY- BUILDING EVENTS. PARTICIPANTS UNPACK TRAUMA FROM THE LEGACY OF GENOCIDE, REFUGEE AND RESETTLEMENT EXPERIENCE, AND THEIR JOURNEY IN THE PRISON PIPELINE, ICE DETENTION, AND DEPORTATION TO CAMBODIA. MANY HAVE REPORTED ISOLATION, REJECTION, AND THE FEELING THEY ARE FORGOTTEN. MOST DO NOT DISCLOSE THEIR STATUS FOR FEAR OF PERSECUTION.

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.

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 11 November 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.
