Mission and programs · 2024

• THE NEW YORK STATE PREFERRED SOURCE PROGRAM FOR NEW YORKERS WHO ARE BLIND (NYSPSP) IS A STATE-MANDATED INITIATIVE DESIGNED TO CREATE AND SUSTAIN MEANINGFUL EMPLOYMENT FOR INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE BLIND.

IN ACCORDANCE WITH STATE PROCUREMENT LAW, STATE AND LOCAL AGENCIES ARE REQUIRED TO PURCHASE DESIGNATED PRODUCTS AND SERVICES PROVIDED BY THESE NONPROFITS. IN 2025, SIX INDIVIDUALS EMPLOYED THROUGH THE PROGRAM WERE PROMOTED, AND 51 NEW PROJECTS WERE ADDED TO THE NYSPSP PORTFOLIO, EXPANDING ITS REACH AND IMPACT.

As filed on the 2024 return.

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

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.

As filed, from the IRS e-Postcard file of 9 November 2026. The IRS publishes only each organization's most recent postcard, so earlier years are not shown. A 990-N carries no financial detail. The postcard also gives the principal officer's address, which is not shown here.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

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.
