What claiming does How does your 990 look to donors? Take the 10-Question Audit

To supply the next generation of women and children with men who will have the "capacity" to contribute to better living for those who depend on them. In doing so we believe that the men we inspire and support in their "coming up" will have satisfying and fulfilling lives and will not have to resort to violence to feel respected by their peers or their women and children, and that their sons will inherit male capacity and responsibility as normal male behavior and their daughters not starved for a man's love will expect the same and measure and handle men accordingly.

501(c)(3) charity; gifts are tax-deductible.
69¢ of each $1 spent went to programs.

The silverback society approach is planned, based on the boys emotional needs and is repeatable and trainable. If the military can turn hip-hoppers and punk-rockers into marines in 12 weeks surely, we can open boys eyes to their futures in a school year, and we've done it and its not even hard, it just takes time and consistency.

The names, titles, and compensation shown on this page are reproduced from IRS Form 990 filings, which are public records.

Philanthropy.org does not alter the content of those filings. All information appears exactly as reported by the filing organization for the tax year shown.

We publish only information contained in the public IRS filing — and less than the filing contains. Our profile pages do not display street addresses, telephone numbers, personal email addresses, or other personal contact information, even where the filing includes them.

Many people share the same name. A name shown on this page reflects only what one organization reported in one IRS filing for one tax year. It should not be interpreted as identifying any other individual with the same or a similar name.

If you are no longer affiliated with the organization, your name will generally stop appearing in future IRS filings once the organization no longer reports you. Pages for tax years in which you were reported remain published because those filings remain part of the public record.

Philanthropy.org does not alter or remove IRS filing records. Removing a page from this website would not remove the underlying IRS filing, which remains publicly available from the IRS and other publishers of the same information.

If you believe the IRS filing itself is inaccurate, corrections must be made by the filing organization or the IRS directly.
