Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

Center for Whole Communities exists to cultivate transformative leadership that weaves together and strengthens movements for justice and the environment.

  • Each year, the Organization offers leadership development retreats through the Retreats, Trainings, and Workshops. The week-long curriculum draws upon tools such as cultural competency, story, dialogue, transformational leadership, and contemplative practice. The Organization also facilitates Whole Thinking Retreats for organizations and foundations to help them strengthen their mission, focus and ability to enact broad social change.

    Expenses $191,246 · Grants $20,900 · Revenue $66,573

  • The Collaborations and Partnerships, trainings, and consulting are offered in communities across the country to support individual leaders and our alumni as they seek to implement whole communities work in their home places. These workshops address how leaders can more effectively engage with constituencies outside their political and social circles, how to keep a dialogue going among diverse partners, and how to seed organizational change that encourages and nurtures new tools, new governance, and new models of success.

    Expenses $29,250

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. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

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.
