Mission and programs · 2024

• During the first half of 2025, Civil Survivals Blake Civil Impacts Project helped low-income Washingtonians across 318 cases related to the Washington Supreme Courts decision in State v. Blake. In addition to direct legal representation, Civil Survival launched the Blake Community Help Hub, expanding access to relief for individuals with unconstitutional drug possession convictions, and received 79 requests for assistance in its first six months.

  Expenses $539,042 · Grants $637,909

• In the first half of 2025, Civil Survival provided legal representation in 833 cases. Our team waived over $15 million in LFOs and successfully vacated 193 convictions. We drafted and led three amicus briefs before Washington Supreme Court on issues including restitution, community service credit, and juvenile record sealing, and continued to offer accessible legal support, including 114 consultations through our Attorney Office Hours program. We also provided 117 criminal history reports to help individuals understand and navigate their records. Our team also launched the Reentry Resource program to assist legal clients with other reentry needs, helping clients overcome the challenges of reentry and build successful futures.

  Expenses $472,542 · Grants $566,715

• During the first half of 2025, Civil Survival advanced key legislative and community advocacy initiatives to expand opportunity and equity for people impacted by the criminal legal system. A major highlight was the passage of HB 1747, Civil Survivals bill expanding Fair Chance employment protections. The new law requires employers to delay criminal record inquiries until after a conditional offer and provide a legitimate business reason if an applicant is denied based on a conviction. In February, Civil Survival hosted Community Empowerment Week, bringing together over 160 participants and 15 partner organizations for legislative training, storytelling workshops, and more than 60 legislative meetings. Civil Survival continued its Unlocking Legislative Advocacy (ULA) program, graduating a new cohort of advocates prepared to lead reentry and policy change efforts in their communities and began planning for the 2025 cohort.

As filed on the 2024 return.

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.

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.
