“The Form 990 is also circulated to the entire Board of Directors for their review.”

“Yes, Lineage Project has a written conflict of interest policy, and the organization regularly and consistently monitored and enforced compliance with the policy during the tax year. All members of the Board of Directors review and sign the written policy on an annual basis, and new board members review and sign the policy as part of their orientation to board service. Lineage's Board Chair is primarily responsible for assessing any potential conflicts of interest among board members and enforcing compliance. Should a perceived or actual conflict require additional attention beyond these parties, it would be raised with the entire Board of Directors and, if warranted, outside counsel.”

“Form 990 and other governing documents are made available to the public by request.”

“The process for assessing and determining compensation for the Executive Directors included independent review and approval by the Board of Directors, whose deliberation and decision was contemporaneously substantiated.”

“Mission Statement: Lineage teaches trauma-sensitive mindfulness to young people (14-24 y.o.) and adult staff inside NYC's criminal legal, foster care, education, shelter, immigration, and school suspension systems, providing easy to use tools to manage stress and uncertainty; nourishing students' imaginations and "mental fitness" (as some students in an incarceration facility describe it); cultivating collective care and community; and breaking down systemic race/class barriers to mindfulness education.”

“Services provided include programs for young people including those in/impacted by systems at 8 sites across NYC, including detention centers, family shelters and public and charter high schools. Lineage also teaches professional development (PD) trainings for adults who work with young people inside systems to 1) acknowledge and help mitigate their (and their peers') compassion fatigue, secondary trauma, and burnout, and 2) learn how/when to employ mindfulness tools at work-to support both themselves and young people. In 2024, OUR THIRD COMMUNITY PROGRAM COHORT GRADUATED FROM OUR COHORT-BASED, INTENSIVE MINDFULNESS TRAINING PROGRAM. A SMALL GROUP OF ALUMNI CONTINUED ON AS FELLOWS, AND WORKED WITH US TO CREATE EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES FOR YOUTH SERVING ORGS NYC-WIDE. ALL STUDENTS WERE PAID STIPENDS FOR THEIRPARTICIPATION AND TRAVEL TO AND FROM THE PROGRAM.”

“The organization decided to ceased operations during the current year. All assets have been distributed as per the governing documents.”
