Activities or mission (Part I)

The organization continues to present and teach life and living skills to chemically dependent and recovering individuals. The program includes job and economic management skills. The overall objective is to offer training and life skills to individuals to transition into community life without government funds.

  • SOBRIETY AND RECOVERY The primary purpose of the organization is to assist chemically dependent either drug or alcohol. Individuals achieve freedom from and chemical dependency and help enable them to transition into community life. The program works closely within the existing law enforcement and system. They rely heavily on the religious and established recovery groups and agencies. A major program tool is closely managed and supervision of individual time of its enrollees. Many of which are either required to work within the program or facing incarceration within the justice system. The program averages enrollment of over 7,000 individual annually. Successful completion of the eighteen month program is generally small and will see many persons enroll multiple times.

    Expenses $1,496,530 · Revenue $1,394,457

  • JOB TRAINING Because many enrollees do not have jobs or are unable to hold jobs because of their dependency problem a major focus on the program is to require each enrollee to either maintain a job within a job within the community or to work within one of the organizations job skills programs. Training emphasis is placed on individual job reliability time management and the ability to enter act with fellow employees and the public.

    Expenses $1,044,091 · Revenue $988,728

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.

As filed, from the IRS e-Postcard file of 2 November 2026. The IRS publishes only each organization's most recent postcard, so earlier years are not shown. A 990-N carries no financial detail. The postcard also gives the principal officer's address, which is not shown here.

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

The 10 largest by cash amount. The API serves every itemized grant.

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.
