Programs
Council for insight, compassion & resilience (cicr) is a six-month program designed for incarcerated participants that teaches the practice of council and its facilitation. Cicr includes elements of the foundations of council training offered by the organization, though tailored for use inside prison. After the initial 16-hour training workshop, participants follow exercises and activities provided in the course manual, exploring topics that unfold in a proscribed curricular evolution. They gather every week to discuss and practice council, facilitated by rotating members of the group. Council topics correspond to the material covered in the participant manual. The cicr program's pedagogy is based on mindfulness and restorative justice principles, focusing on taking responsibility for past behavior and the harm caused to victims, to others who have been impacted (friends, family, community) and to the harm passed down through generations. Council reentry program (crp) reduces recidivism through addressing the needs of formerly incarcerated individuals who return home and commit to successful reentry. Crp supports the needs of program participants with a customized approach that…
$147,558 spent61% of program spendingPeace officer wellness, empathy & resilience (power) training program is an intensive and interactive, cohort-based, three-month curriculum for police and correctional officers that utilizes mindfulness practices, compassion-based communication exercises, and training in wellness-related areas such as stress management and self-care. The power program is a nationally-certified officer training course built on science-based strategies for optimizing physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual health. The power curriculum addresses critical topics like burnout, empathy fatigue, moral distress, depersonalization, and pathological altruism. The program combines innovations in neuroscience, practices to strengthen attention and focus, mindfulness activities, along with regular peer-led council huddles, wherein officers gather regularly to unpack the topics explored in the curriculum that are showing up in their lives and work. Over time, these ongoing small groups help integrate the curriculum into agency culture. Agencies working with power find that the program leads to stronger relationships, more positive agency culture and enhanced community relations.

Who funds it, year by year
Grant support over time, funder by funder — shade shows the grant size each year.
3 of 9 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 6% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of BEYOND US & THEM’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
BEYOND US & THEM leans on a few funders — its largest provides 38% of grant income and the top three 87%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
47% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund BEYOND US & THEM.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
83% of BEYOND US & THEM's grant income comes from California funders.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $61k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
