What Prison Contemplative Fellowship does
Mission
Prison Contemplative Fellowship builds contemplative community that transcends walls. Journeying together as people affected by incarceration, we share centering prayer meditation and foster connections to support healing and transformation, both personal and communal. Through providing books, newsletters and correspondence, developing a database, supporting volunteer engagement, and hosting virtual centering prayer groups and in- person retreats, we offer companionship, spiritual resources, and the steady reminder that each person is seen, valued, and integral to a caring community.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
The prison outreach national database (pond) is a software platform that stores and consolidates information on correctional facilities, incarcerated individuals, and volunteers, enabling staff and volunteers to manage communications and maintain continuity of contact despite transfers and complex jurisdictional rules. Staff research, verify, and update facility and resident records to ensure that each individual remains as reachable and supported as possible. Central to our mission of building community across many and varied inherent barriers, pond dramatically improves the efficiency with which we can mail materials inside locked facilities. It also ensures recipients are not lost - both while in the system and during the transition back into free society. Pond embodies the principle that every person matters by strengthening the bonds of care and belonging that transcend incarceration. As of year-end, pond maintained active records for 699 facilities and 1096 residents.
The first program described on its most recent Form 990, which lists programs largest first by expense.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2017 to 2018, from $2k to $55k (+2688%).
