  • YOUTH DEVELOPMENT: OUR YOUTH DEVELOPMENT WORK INCLUDES THE MEN OF STRENGTH (MOST) CLUB, NOW IN ITS 20TH YEAR, AND THE WOMEN INSPIRING STRENGTH AND EMPOWERMENT (WISE) CLUB, NOW IN ITS 10TH YEAR. FOR BOTH OUR MOST AND WISE CLUB MEMBERS, THE WORK BEGINS WITH UNPACKING DOMINANT STORIES OF MASCULINITY AND WOMANHOOD; REPLACING THOSE DAMAGING NARRATIVES WITH COUNTER STORIES THAT SUPPORT MEMBERS IN BECOMING THEIR BEST SELVES; AND CREATING SAFER LEARNING AND COMMUNITY ENVIRONMENTS SO THAT MEMBERS CAN FLOURISH AND THRIVE. WE BELIEVE OUR WORK IS FROM CONCEPTION THROUGH THE LIFESPAN, AND WITH OUR EMPHASIS ON SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL LEARNING, OUR MOST AND WISE CURRICULA, AND COMMUNITY STRENGTH PROJECTS, WE ARE CREATING AND INSTILLING A PIPELINE WITH OUR MEMBERS THAT PREVENTS MEN'S VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN AND GIRLS BY EMPOWERING GIRLS TO DEVELOP THEIR IDENTITIES BEYOND THE RESTRICTIVE AND HARMFUL CONFINES OF VIOLENCE AND BY MOBILIZING BOYS TO DEVELOP HEALTHY, NONVIOLENT MASCULINITY.

    Expenses $762,742

  • COMMUNICATIONS: COMMUNICATIONS INCLUDES THE ORGANIZATION'S SOCIAL MEDIA MESSAGING MATERIALS AND LICENSING AGREEMENTS, SOCIAL MEDIA, AND PUBLIC RELATIONS. WHILE THE SOCIAL CONTEXT FOR RAPE-PREVENTION CAMPAIGN MATERIALS TARGETING MEN HAS TRADITIONALLY IDENTIFIED MEN AS "THE PROBLEM," OUR COMMUNICATIONS INITIATIVES OFFER AN AFFIRMATIVE ALTERNATIVE: A SOCIAL CONTEXT WHERE MEN ARE ROLE MODELING HEALTHY CHOICES AND BEHAVIORS. OUR MATERIALS USE AUDIENCE-CENTERED ADVERTISEMENTS TO ENCOURAGE BOTH MORAL IDENTIFICATION AND MORAL AGENCY IN THE TARGET AUDIENCE OF YOUNG MEN. TYPICALLY, AUDIENCE-CENTERED ADS SELL A PRODUCT BY USING SOMETHING ALREADY LIKED/DESIRED BY A TARGET AUDIENCE. OUR MATERIALS USE THE DESIRED ATTRIBUTE "STRENGTH" TO RECONNECT YOUNG MEN TO THEIR CAPACITY FOR CHOOSING TO DO THE RIGHT THING. THE MALE AUDIENCE MEMBER IS INVITED TO IDENTIFY WITH THE POSITIVE ACTIONS REPRESENTING HIS OWN PEER GROUP. THIS REINFORCES HIS SENSE OF MORAL AGENCY; HELPS TRANSFORM THE SOCIAL MEANING OF "PEER PRESSURE; AND CREATES SAFE PUBLIC SPACES IN WHICH YOUNG MEN CAN STAND UP AND SPEAK UP AS VISIBLE ALLIES.

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.

Grants received

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.

The registration facts above come from the IRS Business Master File published 13 October 2026 and read 26 October 2026, for every organization at once. Returns through tax year 2024, the newest we have parsed for this organization.
