Activities or mission (Part I)

THE REALTORS LAND INSTITUTE IS DEDICATED TO BUILDING KNOWLEDGE, BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS, AND BUILDING BUSINESS FOR ITS MEMBERS. THE ORGANIZATION OFFERS PROGRAMS AND SERVICES DESIGNED TO PROVIDE SUPERIOR LAND EDUCATION.

  • THE REALTORS LAND INSTITUTE IS DEDICATED TO CONTINUAL ENHANCEMENT OF ITS EDUCATIONAL INITIATIVES INCLUDING ITS LAND UNIVERSITY CURRICULUM AND NATIONAL LAND CONFERENCE, ALL OF WHICH FALL UNDER THE ORGANIZATION'S "LANDU" BANNER. THE ORGANIZATION DELIVERS PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION THROUGH AN 11-COURSE CORE CURRICULUM, ON TOPICS SUCH AS LAND 101, LAND INVESTMENT ANALYSIS, AND TAX IMPLICATIONS FOR REAL ESTATE. THESE EDUCATIONAL INITIATIVES ARE DESIGNED TO PROVIDE BEST IN CLASS PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION FOR LAND SPECIALISTS. IN 2025, NO MAJOR CHANGES WERE MADE TO CURRICULUM.

  • THE REALTORS LAND INSTITUTE UTILIZES ELECTRONIC TECHNOLOGY TO IMPROVE COMMUNICATIONS, PROMOTE EFFICIENCIES, AND EXPAND ITS REACH. THROUGH ITS WEBSITE, THE ORGANIZATION OFFERS ITS MEMBERS INDIVIDUAL MEMBER PROFILES WHICH HIGHLIGHT THEIR EXPERTISE AND EXPERIENCE. IN ADDITION, RLI PRODUCES A WEB SEMINAR SERIES, WHICH ALLOWS BOTH MEMBERS AND NON-MEMBERS TO ACCESS CURRENT INFORMATION ONLINE. THE ASSOCIATION ALSO HAS AN ORGANIZATIONAL PRESENCE THROUGH A VARIETY OF SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS.

  • THE REALTORS LAND INSTITUTE IS DEDICATED TO UPGRADES TO ITS COMMUNICATION INITIATIVES, AS EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION MUST BE AT THE CORE OF ANY MEMBERSHIP ASSOCIATION. ONE SUCH ENHANCEMENT HAS BEEN THROUGH THE GROWTH AND ENHANCEMENT OF THE ORGANIZATION'S ELECTRONIC AND PRINTED NEWSLETTERS WHICH OFFER EXPANDED COVERAGE OF LAND ISSUES, INCLUDING LEGISLATIVE AND RELATED TOPICS.

  • AS A 501C6 ORGANIZATION, PROGRAM EXPENSES ARE NOT REQUIRED TO BE ALLOCATED ON THE STATEMENT OF PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS.

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.

Grants received

No itemized grant names this organization as a recipient. Only grants over $5,000 are itemized, and only by filers of the full Form 990.

Related organizations

From Schedule R Part II, where a filer lists the tax-exempt organizations it is related to by control. It does not record shared board members or money.

Other IRS files

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

Not present in the most recent drop.

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.
