Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

The mission of the Corporation is to maximize the effective and fair use of limited public resources in the criminal justice system.

Activities or mission (Part I)

To maximize the effective and fair use of limited public resources in the criminal justice system.

  • Education: The Coalition for Public Safety (CPS), the nation's largest bipartisan coalition addressing criminal justice reform, leveraged its partners to launch educational campaigns geared towards the general public, advocates, law enforcement, and policy leaders. CPS worked across the political spectrum to pursue a comprehensive set of federal, state and local criminal justice reforms to reduce prison populations and associated costs; end the systemic problems of overcriminalization and overincarceration particularly in low-income communities and communities of color; ensure swift and fair outcomes for both the accused and the victim; and make communities safer by reducing recidivism and breaking down barriers faced by those returning home after detention or incarceration.CPS partnered with other nonprofit organizations to host a series of virtual events to build public awareness for the need for criminal justice reform. The events, which included webinars and virtual community events, worked to reach diverse audiences and share information on key criminal justice issuesCPS also disseminated criminal justice information through media interviews, informational meetings with high-level media figures and influences, and employing rapid response tactics for relevant criminal justice events. Through social media platforms, the organization highlighted partner organizations working on criminal justice issues and directed followers to relevant breaking news.

  • Coalition Building / Outreach: The Coalition for Public Safety (CPS) continued engagement with core partners to form a bipartisan coalition of organizations that represent diverse memberships. CPS worked with its partners and other key criminal justice advocates to develop common principals and goals on justice issues, promoting a dialogue with their respective members about criminal justice issues.

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.

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

Not present in the most recent drop.

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.
