Mission

RACINE VOCATIONAL MINISTRY PREPARES PARTICIPANTS TO BECOME FULLY ENGAGED IN THEIR LIVES BY OFFERING TOOLS AND SKILLS, RESPECTING THEIR INHERENT DIGNITY, AND WALKING ALONG SIDE THEM IN THEIR TRANSFORMATIVE JOURNEYS.

Activities or mission (Part I)

RACINE VOCATIONAL MINISTRY EMPOWERS THE UNEMPLOYED AND UNDEREMPLOYED OF RACINE AND KENOSHA TO BECOME PRODUCTIVE IN THEIR COMMUNITY.

  • "THE AVERAGE RATE OF ANNUAL RECIDIVISM IN WISCONSIN IS 15% FOR HIGH MEDIUM AND LOW RISK INDIVIDUALS. THE THREE-YEAR STATE RATE FOR MEDIUM AND HIGH-RISK INDIVIDUALS AVERAGES 40.1%. WE SERVED 160 REENTRY PARTICIPANTS IN 2024. RVM HAS MAINTAINED A RATE OF ONLY 1.3 % FOR ONE YEAR. OUR THREE-YEAR RATE FOR 2020-2022 IS 3.9%, AN 121.8% REDUCTION OVER THE STATE AVERAGE. RVM HAS BEEN RECOGNIZED AS A BEST PRACTICE BY THE US ATTORNEY'S OFFICE OF THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN AND BY THE INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF CHIEFS OF POLICE. KENOSHA VOCATIONAL MINISTRY, A SUBSIDIARY OF RVM, IS OVERSEEN IN COLLABORATION WITH THE WISCONSIN DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS AND KENOSHA COUNTY HUMAN SERVICES WITH SUPPORT FROM THE KENOSHA JOB CENTER"

    Expenses $285,030

  • IN 2024, VIRTUALLY ALL OF THE PARTICIPANTS (98%) WHO ENROLL IN OUR PROGRAMS QUALIFY UNDER THE HUD DEFINITION AS LOW INCOME. IN 2024, RVM SERVED 69 HOMELESS PARTICIPANTS, 36 ADULT GANG PARTICIPANTS, 49 YOUTH GANG PARTICIPANTS, A RECORD 160 PRISON RETURNEES AND 141 IN THE WALK-IN PROGRAM. THOSE WE SERVE HAVE EXPERIENCED A GREATER CAPACITY TO RECONNECT WITH THEIR FAMILIES, ATTAIN AND MAINTAIN EMPLOYMENT, AND STABILIZE THEIR LIVES THROUGH INCREASED SELF-SUFFICIENCY. THEY HAVE ALSO GAINED MORE POSITIVE, PRO SOCIAL MODES OF COGNITION. RVM ASSISTED THIS POPULATION WITH OVER $25,000 IN SUPPORTS FOR DRIVER'S LICENSE RECOVERY, GAS CARDS, BUS PASSES, WORK CLOTHES, WORK TOOLS, CNA CERTIFICATES, FORKLIFT LICENSES, AND CDL CERTIFICATIONS. RVM'S HOMELESS ASSISTANCE IS DONE IN THE CONTEXT OF OUR LOCAL CONTINUUM OF CARE.

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.

The four totals the IRS asks for on Part I of the Form 990, as filed. A dash means the figure was not present on the return — not that it was zero.

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

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.
