01

Unconditional freedom project is about restoring prisons to their original intent; penitence. Through working with the soil, yoga, meditation and self inquiry practices, we transform prisons into spaces for contemplation, transformation and contribution.

$192Kprogram expense
02

Free food is about emptying what is full, and filling what is empty. This program provides dignified, nutritious sit down meals to those who otherwise could not afford them, and the opportunity to express love and contribute for those who have more than they need.

$111Kprogram expense
03

Earth

One of the essential ingredients of restoring dignity in ourselves and others is our relationship to the earth. When we cultivate our own soil, grow and prepare our own food, we are building our own value and ownership through tending to what we eat. The earth program provides both the food and the education to teach others how to grow.

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.
