Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

Community Justice Center seeks to cultivate individual and collective well-being, shared accountability, and healing through community-driven research and evidence-based restorative processes.

  • CJC/VORP: Community Justice Conferencing/Victim Offender Reconciliation Program: youth diversion initiative for youth to accept responsibility for harm caused through family group conferencing and mediation with the parties harmed to make things as right as possible. 140 youth were referred to CJC/VORP: 106 Juvenile Court; 34 Juvenile Probation; 78% 15-19 years old; 27% 10-14 years old. 68% Hispanic, 16% Black, 7% White, 5% Asian; 4% other. CJC provides trained mediators to initiate, monitor, and completed 140 referrals through 565 Community Justice Conferences. These consist of a series of meetings between the responsible party/ parties (offender), harmed party/parties (victim), and their supportive individuals, with the assistance of a mediator to address harm, its impact, and an opportunity to make things as right as possible. An agreement is established and signed by the responsible party and harmed party/parties.

    Expenses $412,493 · Revenue $152,320

  • CJN: Community Justice Network: integrated community services that heal, guide, and elevate individuals, families, and neighborhoods through a coalition of community-based organizations and practitioners that collectively work together. CJN successfully developed collaborations with 20 partners throughout the first year of the project, actively involving 1,500 residents in conversations concerning issues of public safety, racial equality, and economic advancement. CJN partners engage in prevention (community), intervention (system impacted), reintegration (reentry) and education/training. Southwest Fresno was primary focus of CJN work.

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.

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.

Grants received

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.
