COMMUNITY VOLUNTEERS AND SKILLS-BASED MENTORS PROVIDE ADDITIONAL SUPPORTS. THE STUDENTS LEARN TO UNEARTH THEIR INNATE POWER TO MAKE POSITIVE LIFE-PROPELLING CHOICES. THE INTERACTIVE ACTIVITIES BUILD SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL SKILLS, SELF-CONFIDENCE, CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS AND SELF-EFFICACY. OUR MODEL BLENDS A HOLISTIC APPROACH TO SELF-EFFICACY WITH WORKFORCE READINESS AND CAREER EXPLORATION ACTIVITIES THAT MEET YOUNG PEOPLE WHERE THEY ARE WITHOUT JUDGMENT. IN WELLNESS MENTORING CIRCLES (WMC), CARES FACILITATORS LEAD STUDENTS THROUGH A CURRICULUM DESIGNED TO HELP MIDDLE- AND HIGH-SCHOOL PARTICIPANTS IDENTIFY THEIR STRESSORS AND PREPARE FOR POST-SECONDARY SUCCESS. THE STUDENTS LEARN COPING STRATEGIES, SELF-REGULATION, HOW TO SOOTHE ANXIETY AND UNEARTH SELF-AWARENESS AND CRITICAL THINKING. OUR CURRICULUM IS COMPRISED OF TEN PILLARS THAT INCLUDE STRESS MANAGEMENT, WELLNESS AND FINANCIAL EDUCATION. WMCS ARE COMPASSIONATE SPACES, THEY ARE SAFE AND INTIMATE GROUPS WHERE MUTUAL TRUST AND COMMUNITY ARE ESTABLISHED. OUR PROGRAM BRINGS A CULTURALLY RICH CURRICULUM AND WELLNESS PROFESSIONALS INTO THE LIVES OF CHILDREN, WHO DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO THEM IN THEIR COMMUNITIES, AND MENTORS WHO PROVIDE SUPPORT, GUIDANCE AND LOVE. THE RISING PROGRAM (OJJDP) OPERATES IN-PERSON AND VIRTUAL SESSIONS AT SITES ACROSS THE UNITED STATES. WELLNESS CIRCLES HAS SERVED (IN-PERSON, VIRTUALLY, AND HYBRID) OVER 3,240 CHILDREN IN DENVER, DALLAS, SEATTLE, DETROIT, SOUTH FLORIDA, LOS ANGELES, NEW ORLEANS, NYC, SAN JOSE, OMAHA, AND DURHAM. FACILITATORS AND PARENTS REPORTED TO NATIONAL CARES THE IMMEDIATE CHANGE IN CHILDREN'S PSYCHOLOGICAL ATTITUDES. EAGER TO JOIN WELLNESS CIRCLES, CHILDREN WERE ABLE TO CONNECT WITH ONE ANOTHER AND OVERRIDE THEIR FEELINGS OF ISOLATION. WHILE IN THIS SECOND YEAR OF A THREE-YEAR FEDERAL GRANT FROM THE OFFICE OF JUVENILE JUSTICE AND DELIQUENCY PREVENTION, WE WERE ABLE TO EXPAND OUR RISING PROGRAM SERVICES REACH TO SUPPORT MORE CHILDREN IN CHICAGO, DETROIT, THE GREATER LOS ANGELES AREA (COMPTON), NEW YORK CITY, SEATTLE, AND SOUTH FLORIDA.

  • The HBCU Rising: A Community Schools-Campus STEM Initiative: THE HBCU RISING AIMS TO FILL THE PIPELINE OF JOBS WHICH USE STEM SKILLS, FOR WHICH THE REPRESENTATION OF AFRICAN AMERICAN PARTICIPATION IS BY FAR THE LOWEST OF ANY ETHNIC OR RACIAL GROUP.

A NEW PROGRAM PARTNERSHIP WITH SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY-NEW ORLEANS (SUNO) ALLOWED US TO RECRUIT COLLEGE MENTORS AND PILOT OUR HBCU RISING PROGRAMMATIC EXPANSION.

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. 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.

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.
