Mission and programs · 2025

• OUR PROGRAMS AIM TO BUILD THE CAPACITY OF THE SOCIAL JUSTICE FIELD TO EMPOWER THEM TO USE NARRATIVE, COMMUNICATIONS, AND CULTURE TO CHANGE HOW PEOPLE PERCEIVE SOCIAL JUSTICE ISSUES INCLUDING RACIAL JUSTICE, DEMOCRACY, IMMIGRATION, HEALTH, PUBLIC SAFETY, AND ECONOMIC JUSTICE. IN 2025, WE TRAINED 5,000+ SOCIAL JUSTICE ACTIVISTS, ADVOCATES, AND ARTISTS IN NARRATIVE AND CULTURAL STRATEGIES. WE PROVIDED RESEARCH-BACKED NARRATIVE AND CULTURAL MESSAGING TOOLS AND RESOURCES TO A NETWORK OF 30,000+ ADVOCATES, FUNDERS, ARTISTS, POLICYMAKERS, AND OTHER SOCIAL JUSTICE LEADERS TO AMPLIFY THEIR VOICES AND EFFECTIVENESS AS STORYTELLERS. FOR OUR NARRATIVE INNOVATORS LAB, WE CONCLUDED THE PROGRAM IN MARCH 2025 THAT PROVIDED TRAINING AND SUPPORT TO 10 SOCIAL JUSTICE LEADERS AND 7 ARTISTS TO DEVELOP NARRATIVE AND CULTURAL INTERVENTIONS TO ADVANCE A MULTIRACIAL SOCIETY.AT THE END OF 2025, THE ORGANIZATION SUNSETTED OPERATIONS AND TRANSFERRED THEIR PROGRAMMATIC WORK TO OTHER NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS. THE ORGANIZATION IS IN THE PROCESS OF WINDING DOWN OPERATIONS.

  Expenses $4,560,432 · Revenue $102,000

As filed on the 2025 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Officers and directors · 2025

As listed in Part VII of the 2025 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

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.

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.
