We believe young people should be able to take healthy risks, explore life and make mistakes safely without life-altering consequences that change their futures. We envision a world where kids can enter adulthood without the emotional scars and trauma that are part of struggliing to recover from a high-potency thc marijuana addiction, have friends or family members die from fentanyl poisoning, and experiencing the anxiety and grief that comes from the ever-present threat of gun violence. This generation of kids is facing new and complex challenges that threaten the trajectory of their lives. The risk landscape has changes. Commonsense policies and programs need to be developed, and adapted to keep up the fast-paced changes.

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.
