Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

To provide charitable and educational activities which provide support for children and their families who experience loss through death of one or more family members.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Families Reaching into Each New Day, Inc., d/b/a FRIENDS WAY, is a haven for healing and hope which provides open-ended support groups and programs for grieving children, teens, and families.

  • FRIENDS WAY (FW), the family bereavement center in Rhode Island, offers bereavement support services to children ages 3 to 18 and their adult caregivers throughout Southeastern New England, and also provides community awareness and training on issues related to children, grief, and loss via community organizations including schools, churches, and civic groups. These organizations are comprised of peer groups which convene three nights per week throughout the school year. If necessary, the clinician follows up with the families and, when appropriate, provides additional professional referrals. Staffed with highly qualified mental health care professionals and extensively trained community volunteers, FW provides peer support to children and their families in a safe and nurturing environment. Services are provided without charge, with 100% of the program funded via philanthropic activities and community support. FW works closely with hospitals, schools, funeral homes, mental health agencies, pediatricians, and individuals as it provides services.

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

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

Related organizations

From Schedule R Part II, where a filer lists the tax-exempt organizations it is related to by control. It does not record shared board members or money.

Declared on its 2024 return

The first 25 as filed. The return lists every one.

Declared as related by

The most recent declarers. The API serves every row.

Taxable family

From Schedule R Parts I, III and IV: entities that legally are the filer, and taxable partnerships, corporations and trusts it is related to. These record ownership and control, not shared board members or money.

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.
