Mission

THE MISSION IS TO BREAK THE CYCLE OF POVERTY, HUNGER AND HOMELESSNESS THROUGH DEVELOPING PARTNERSHIPS, CREATING PROGRAMS AND PROVIDING GRANT FUNDING TO SUPPORT INNOVATIVE COMMUNITY BENEFIT ORGANIZATIONS.

Activities or mission (Part I)

BREAKING THE CYCLE OF POVERTY, HOMELESSNESS, AND HUNGER IN COMMUNITIES ACROSS AMERICA.

  • IN OCTOBER 2011, THE FOUNDATION OPENED ITS FIRST JBJ SOUL KITCHEN IN RED BANK, NEW JERSEY, TO ADDRESS LOCAL ISSUES OF FOOD INSECURITY. A SECOND JBJ SOUL KITCHEN OPENED IN MAY 2016 IN TOMS RIVER, NEW JERSEY, AS PART OF THE B.E.A.T. CENTER, A UNIQUE, COLLABORATIVE EFFORT WITH OTHER NONPROFITS. A THIRD LOCATION OPENED IN JANUARY 2020 ON THE CAMPUS OF RUTGERS UNIVERSITY - NEWARK, NEW JERSEY TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE OF HUNGER ON COLLEGE CAMPUSES. IN FEBRUARY 2023 A FOURTH LOCATION OPENED ON THE COLLEGE CAMPUS OF NORTH JERSEY CITY UNIVERSITY - JERSEY CITY, NEW JERSEY TO ADDRESS STUDENT FOOD INSECURITY. THE COMMUNITY KITCHENS HAVE SERVED OVER 200,000 NUTRITIOUS, DELICIOUS MEALS SINCE THEIR INCEPTION AND HAVE SERVED 56% OF THEIR MEALS TO THOSE UNABLE TO PAY. SEE SCHEDULE O.PAYING DINERS CAN AFFECT CHANGE BY PAYING MORE THAN THE SUGGESTED MINIMUM DONATION BY "PAYING IT FORWARD". INDIVIDUALS UNABLE TO DONATE FOR THEIR MEAL, STILL ENJOY A MEAL AND BECOME PART OF THE JBJ SOUL KITCHEN COMMUNITY BY VOLUNTEERING. THIS GIVES THEM ACCESS TO VALUABLE RESOURCES, INCLUDING JOB OPPORTUNITIES, HOUSING ASSISTANCE, AND MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT.

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.
