Wanda Joyce Robinson Foundation

Tax-deductible

Frankfort, KY501(c)(3)Youth DevelopmentEIN 83-1861429

The mission of the wanda joyce robinson foundation is to provide mentorship and resources to children, youth, and families impacted by incarceration. The foundation has the unique capacity to "fill the gaps" that macro-level social services unintentionally create. The foundation unites the offender, their children, law enforcement, correctional system, schools, mental health services, government and businesses to create a family network. Within this network, the foundation provides mentorship programs for both the incarcerated parent and child; support services for non- incarcerated parents and caregivers; training for educators; and opportunities for relationship building in the community. IT is the vision of the foundation to end the cycle of incarceration by providing the children and youth we serve a path of hope and a vision of a successful future.

501(c)(3) charity; gifts are tax-deductible.
80¢ of each $1 spent went to programs.
Run by 40 volunteers and 2 employees.

Names, privacy, and removal requests More

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.
