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 and programs · 2024

• Land Together (LT) DBA Insight Garden Program (IGP) provides transformative in-prison programming to over 400 participants annually across 9 prisons in California, including two medical prisons and the largest womens facility in the United States. Our unique curriculum combines eco-literacy, eco-therapy, environmental stewardship, and mindfulness education with hands-on training in permaculture gardening and landscape design. Participants engage in life skills workshops covering effective communication, conflict resolution, financial literacy, and goal-setting, with creative expression integrated throughout to foster healing, self-reflection, and cultural empowerment.Each program site features a vibrant garden co-designed and maintained by participants, utilizing innovative permaculture, composting, and water conservation techniques. These gardens serve as restorative sanctuaries, living classrooms, and sustainable ecosystems that provide fresh herbs and produce while reinforcing environmental stewardship.A recent independent evaluation by Fresno State Universitys Criminology Department highlighted the programs profound impact, noting significant improvements in participants' emotional and mental health. The study also found that only 2.5% of Land Together's (Insight Garden Program) graduates were re-incarcerated within three years, compared to California's 42% recidivism rate, underscoring the program's success in fostering long-term rehabilitation and reducing recidivism.

  Expenses $1,425,745

• Reentry Program: Our reentry program, led by previously incarcerated staff, serves over 200 participants annually across 14 counties, providing comprehensive support to address the complex needs of individuals transitioning from incarceration to community life. To ensure continuity of care, we integrate reentry education into our year-long in-prison curriculum and provide six months of individualized pre-release support, including case management, housing referrals, workplace readiness training, and family coordination. Upon release, participants receive a "welcome home" reentry kit, transportation, and immediate support to navigate their transition. Post-release services include connections to essential services, employment and education referrals, financial education, emotional healing circles, nature excursions, peer mentorship, and access to a rapid response fund. This holistic approach has resulted in a recidivism rate of just 2.5% among participants, compared to California's 42% average, demonstrating the programs success in fostering long-term reintegration and reducing incarceration rates.

  Expenses $541,703

• Fiscal Sponsorship Program: In 2023, Land Together dba Insight Garden Program fiscally sponsorsed and supported the Del Paso Heights Growers Alliance (DPHGA) in delivering impactful community-driven initiatives focused on improving social determinants of health, advancing racial equity, and addressing environmental and economic justice. DPHGA distributed over 2,100 pounds of fresh, culturally relevant produce to 85 households across North Sacramento during its fall Community Supported Agriculture (CSA)-style food distribution program. Participants received high-quality produce grown by immigrant and refugee farmers, contributing to improved food access and supporting BIPOC farmers economic sustainability.Additionally, DPHGA maintained three community gardens that provided hands-on gardening experiences, nutrition education, and fresh produce for the community. A baseline survey collected critical data to measure the program's impact on food access and community health, with future workshops and distributions planned to deepen engagement. Collaborative partnerships with organizations like UC Davis and the International Rescue Committee bolstered the programs capacity through research, technical assistance, and expanded resources. These efforts exemplify the effectiveness of fiscal sponsorship in fostering innovative, community-led projects that promote equity and sustainability.

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. 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.
