3 other organizations in the IRS Business Master File list the same street address. matched by us

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.

• THE PENG GROUND CONTROL MINING AWARD IS GIVEN IN RECOGNITION OF INDIVIDUALS THAT HAVE DEMONSTRATED TECHNICAL AND SCIENTIFIC EXCELLENCE IN ADVANCING THE UNDERSTANDING OF GROUND CONTROL TECHNOLOGIES OR APPROACHES BY EITHER PUBLICATION OR DIRECT APPLICATIONS IN THE MINING INDUSTRY. THE ANNUAL AWARD WILL BE GIVEN TO AN INDIVIDUAL OR GROUP THAT: (1) HAS SHOWN INSIGHT AND UNDERSTANDING OF GROUND CONTROL ISSUES BY DEVELOPING CONCEPTS, THEORIES OR TECHNOLOGIES THAT HAVE BEEN ADOPTED BY THE MINING COMMUNITY, OR (2) HAS SUCCESSFULLY IMPLEMENTED A GROUND CONTROL DESIGN OR DESIGNS OR PRACTICES. THE AWARD WILL BE AVAILABLE TO INDIVIDUALS/GROUPS THAT HAVE MADE SUCH CONTRIBUTIONS TO GROUND CONTROL RELATED TO COAL AND/OR NONCOAL (METALS, COMMODITIES, ETC.) OR AGGREGATE MINES. IN ADDITION, IN 2009, THE SYD S. PENG FUND ADDED TWO GROUND CONTROL IN MINING SCHOLARSHIPS TO PROMOTE THE SCIENCE OF GROUND CONTROL. RECENT TRENDS IN MINING ENGINEERING PROFESSIONALS INDICATE A SHORTAGE OF COMPETENT GROUND CONTROL ENGINEERS. TO HELP REMEDY THIS SITUATION AND PROMOTE THE GROUND CONTROL ENGINEERING DISCIPLINE, AN UNDERGRADUATE AND/OR GRADUATE SCHOLARSHIP(S) WILL BE AWARDED ANNUALLY TO ENCOURAGE THE DEVELOPMENT OF GROUND CONTROL ENGINEERS.

As filed on the 2024 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

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.

The first 25 listed. 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. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Grants made
