Mission

Equity and Transformation EAT is a non-profit community-led organization founded by and for post-incarcerated people. Continuously system-impacted individuals face significant barriers in their everyday lives; they are shut out of the workforce forced into informality and criminalized for surviving. These systemic inequalities often lead to extreme poverty and additional periods of incarceration. EAT is committed to building social and economic equity for informal workers.

  • EAT recognizes the need to collect accurate information to create community-centered change. Our Research Department strives to use original evidence to identify barriers to economic and social mobility amplify the voices of informal workers and build innovative solutions that address the discrimination and disinvestment that have harmed underserved communities. Research plays an essential role in supporting policy development advocacy and organizing campaigns that advance the fight for equity. ln 2024 EATs research Department launched unemployment focus groups and continued our guaranteed income work through the Chicago Future Fund.

  • The Organizing Department of EAT is deeply rooted in the communities we serve operating on the belief that fostering relationships and nurturing leaders is integral to our mission. We actively engage in dialogues seeking to shed light on pertinent issues affecting our community while developing programs that are not just created for them but by them. Our approach to recruitment and retention within EAT is purposeful providing resources and knowledge to empower and enlighten our community members. We are committed to creating an environment where informal workers can envision new possibilities where individuals are equipped with the necessary skills to achieve their aspirations and where sustainable alternatives to detrimental state interventions are forged. In 2024 the Organizing Department further solidified EATs connections with community members through extensive outreach initiatives including weekly canvassing phone banking community gatherings unity dialogues and activating 5,000 men.

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.
