Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

The purpose of the corporation is to promote social welfare within the meaning of Section 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), or any successor provision, including, but not limited to, by fostering and developing the game and culture of Go in North America, and by supporting the purposes for which Seattle Go Center, a Washington nonprofit corporation, is organized, in order to achieve the goals Japanese go master Iwamoto Kaoru intended when he founded the Seattle Go Center.

  • IGOF provides a shared space for groups that support its mission. These groups include the Seattle Go Center, Seattle Shogi, Zoka Go Club, and other regional Go groups. Seattle Go Center meets 3-4 times per week, with 40-65 people per week attending, depending on events. Seattle Shogi meets once per week with 6-10 people, and Zoka meets about once per week with a few people. Occasionally other groups use the space, such as a Japanese tea ceremony group or other cultural exchange groups. In addition, IGO is bringing visiting Go professionals to the shared space to teach and promote Go. IGOF pays for their transportation, accommodations, and food. These events have 20-30 people depending on the event and how many days the pro is resident.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
