Other organizations at this address

1 other organization in the IRS Business Master File lists the same street address. matched by us

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

Mission

We unlock human potential in Americas prisons by providing social support through arts and personal development programs.

  • The Shining Light Academy (SLA) delivered evidence-based programming designed to reduce recidivism and enhance public safety through positive psychology interventions in correctional facilities. In 2024, the organization achieved significant reach and impact through three primary service delivery methods:Direct Instruction Programs: SLA completed 22 Foundations Courses via video conferencing, serving 136 graduates and providing over 6,800 hours of evidence-based programming to incarcerated individuals in North Dakota, Pennsylvania, and Ohio prisons. This represents a slight increase in graduates from the previous year. A study of 187 program graduates in North Dakota demonstrated a 21% reduction in violent incidents during the 9-month period following course participation compared to the 9 months prior, validating the program's effectiveness in improving institutional behavior and safety.Print and Digital Publications: The Loop interactive magazine distributed 42,038 copies across 1,200 prisons in 46 states, reaching an estimated monthly readership of 12,000 individuals through both print and electronic tablet formats. This publication provides strength-based tools and evidence-based content to support personal development and positive behavioral change.Electronic Learning Platforms: Approximately 40,000 course completions were recorded through SLA programs delivered on electronic tablets in correctional facilities, significantly expanding access to evidence-based personal development tools. Additionally, 14 Loop Groups were established across 14 prisons in response to reader requests, engaging 230 participants in peer-led discussions. New resources were developed to support both correctional staff and incarcerated peer leaders in facilitating these groups.Through these integrated program services, SLA participants demonstrated increased engagement in educational, treatment, and vocational training opportunities, improved relationships with family, peers, and correctional staff, and enhanced preparation for successful community reentry.

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.

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.

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.
