Mission and programs · 2024

• MIRACLE FRIENDS: MIRACLE FRIENDS MATCHES UNHOUSED NEIGHBORS WITH TRAINED VOLUNTEERS FOR WEEKLY PHONE CALLS AND TEXTS. WE RECEIVE REFERRALS FROM CASE MANAGERS, VOLUNTEERS, COMMUNITY MEMBERS, AND UNHOUSED INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE LOOKING TO BUILD SOCIAL CONNECTIONS. WE MATCH PARTICIPANTS WITH VOLUNTEERS USING KEY DATA TO PREDICT SEEDS OF CONNECTION THAT CAN BLOSSOM. WE PROVIDE SUPPORT TO BOTH VOLUNTEERS AND PARTICIPANTS AS REQUESTED. AS THE RELATIONSHIP GROWS, WE TAILOR SUPPORT TO THE RELATIONSHIP STATUS. IN 2024, 470 REFERRALS CONNECTED WITH A VOLUNTEER (MATCHED PHONE BUDDIES), 17K INTERACTIONS WERE LOGGED DOCUMENTING OVER 131K MINUTES OF CONVERSATION AND CONNECTION.

• MIRACLE MONEY: MIRACLE MONEY EXPLORES DIRECT CASH THROUGH DIFFERENT DISTRIBUTION MODELS.THE COMBINATION OF CASH AND SOCIAL CONNECTION SUPPORTS AGENCY, WELL-BEING, AND A SENSE OF BELONGING-KEY INGREDIENTS FOR SUSTAINABLE TRANSFORMATION. WE TAKE A "CASH PLUS" APPROACH, WHICH INCLUDES ADDITIONAL SUPPORTS THAT CREATE CONDITIONS FOR LASTING CHANGE, ALLOWING PEOPLE TO MOVE BEYOND SURVIVAL AND TOWARD LONG-TERM STABILITY AND SELF-DETERMINED SUCCESS. DISTRIBUTION MODELS INCLUDE: A) DIRECT CASH TRANSFERS OF $300/MONTHLY FOR ONE YEAR TO PARTICIPANTS WHO HAVE ENGAGED IN OUR PHONE BUDDY PROGRAM FOR A MINIMUM OF 6 MONTHS (DIGNITY FUNDS); B) $750/MONTHLY FOR ONE YEAR FOR PARTICIPANTS ASSOCIATED WITH PROGRAMS RUN BY 5 PARTNERING HOMELESS SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS (THRIVING COMMUNITY FUND); C) OTHER FORMS OF CASH SUCH AS TRAVEL FUNDS FOR SPECIFIC REUNION NEEDS OR ONE TIME BACKUP RELIEF FUNDS. WE HAVE DISTRIBUTED $1.1M THROUGH MIRACLE MONEY, $970K OF WHICH WAS THROUGH BASIC INCOME.

• REUNION SERVICES: WE RECEIVE REFERRALS FROM CASE MANAGERS, HEALTH CARE WORKERS, VOLUNTEERS, COMMUNITY MEMBERS, AND UNHOUSED INDIVIDUALS REQUESTING RECONNECTION WITH A LOVED ONE. WITH CONSENT FROM THE LOVED ONE, WE FACILITATE THE REUNION. OUR TRAINED DIGITAL DETECTIVES SEARCH FOR LOVED ONES ACROSS THE COUNTRY USING PUBLIC RECORDS AND ONLINE TOOLS. WITH DUAL CONSENT, WE FACILITATE A REUNION. THIS IS TYPICALLY AN INITIAL PHONE CALL THROUGH THE CASE MANAGER OR REFERRING PARTY. IN 2024, WE FACILITATED 182 REUNIONS, LEADING TO MORE THAN 1000 REUNIONS TOTAL.

As filed on the 2024 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

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.

As filed, from the IRS e-Postcard file of 9 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.
