This address is a suite or unit (STE 150). Organizations that share one are often clients of the same office-services firm, accountant or registered agent rather than related to each other.

We match the street line and ZIP code as the IRS gives them, ignoring case and outer spaces and nothing else, so "AVE" and "AVENUE" count as different streets and this list can miss some. A shared address can mean related organizations or a shared office, but it can also be a registered agent, a mail drop or a service provider holding mail for unrelated clients. It is not, by itself, evidence that two organizations are connected.

Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

We stand with the people of the Central Valley by investing in education and active civic participation in our democracy.

  • The James B. McClatchy Foundation's Board has regularly assessed California's Central Valley's landscape and needs over the decadesto determine how best to help its communities. In 2016, it recognized that the needs of the Central Valley's unique populationswere only increasingto the point that a much greater long-term investment would be needed than what the Foundationcould supply.The Board developed a spend down strategy (the Sunrise Plan) geared toward building a strong, self-sustaining infrastructurethat would generate and support new and current initiatives. The strategys planning accelerated in 2019 and has now developedinto a blueprint for the future. The timeline for this strategy is to spend down JBMFs resources to build the foundation for thisinfrastructure by 2030.The Sunrise Plan is an opportunity for stakeholders and investors to create lasting change far beyond what the Foundation hasthe resources to do. While these initiatives and their results will take shape after the Foundation sunsets in 2030, we are excitedto execute our final stepswalking in harmony with our partners with both rigor and passion to ensure the stage is set for a sunrise of change and sustainability

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. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility SOUNK.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
