Mission and programs · 2025

• We create, curate, print, and distribute books on spirituality, mindfulness, and wellness to people experiencing incarceration and their families. This includes working with writers and authors who have experienced incarceration to create and publish new works. These resources are sent at no charge in response to requests received from people who are incarcerated, their families, and those working in prisons. In 2025, we distributed over 8,000 books free of charge and offered resources on the free educational app, Edovo, which is available at 1,400 prisons and jails across the country. We have 118 resources available on this app. These resources have been accessed over 420,000 times over the past 3 years.

  Expenses $113,590 · Grants $1,180 · Revenue $6,231

• Newsletters are distributed to approximately 15,000 individuals on our mailing list - people who are currently or formerly incarcerated and their families, and those who work in the prison system. In addition, every year the foundation receives and responds individually to thousands of letters from those incarcerated, their families, prison staff, and the general public.

  Expenses $108,954

• Human Kindness Foundation assists small organizations with similar missions by providing administrative and financial support as a fiscal sponsor. We currently sponsor four organizations/projects: Buddhist Prison Ministry, Father Charlie Mulholland House, Prison from the Inside Out, and Orange County Community Remembrance Coalition.

  Expenses $24,960

• We conduct mindfulness workshops twice a month at a local prison and work with participants to help create content for our books and newsletters.

  Expenses $9,273

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. 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.
