  • THE MOST BASIC HUMAN NEED IS TO FEEL CONNECTED TO OTHERS AND ADDICTION DESTROYS CONNECTION. WHEN PEOPLE WANT TO GET SOBER, THEY OFTEN HAVE ALIENTED FRIENDS AND FAMILY, HAVE NO JOB AND NO MONEY AND ARE CARRYING GUILT AND SHAME FROM THE THINGS THEY DID IN THEIR ADDICITON. THEY FACE A DILEMMA, REMAIN ISOLATED AND LONELY OR SEEK CONNECTION WITH THE PEOPLE THEY DRANK AND USED WITH AND LIKELY RELAPSE. THE SOBER LIFE PREVENTS PEOPLE FROM HAVING TO MAKE THIS CHOICE BY PROVIDING A HEALTHY OUTLET WHERE PEOPLE IN RECOVERY CAN FULFILL THEIR NEED FOR CONNECTION. SOBER LIFE IS OPERATED BY PEOPLE IN RECOVERY, HELPING THOSE IN RECOVERY - BY PEOPLE IN RECOVERY, FOR PEOPLE IN RECOVERY. ALLIANCE FOR YOUTH OFFERS A RANGE OF FREE AND FAMILY-FRIENDLY EVENTS AND ACTIVITIES, WHERE THOSE IN RECOVERY CAN ENJOY FELLOWSHIP AND BUILD FRIENDSHIPS IN AN ALCOHOL, DRUG AND JUDGEMENT FREE ENVIRONMENT. WE ALSO OFFER VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES, SO OUR MEMBERS CAN GAIN SELF-ESTEEM AND A SENSE OF PURPOSE AS THEY GROW INTO CONTRIBUTING MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY.

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 11 November 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.
