Other organizations at this address

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

This address is a suite or unit (UNIT 526). 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 · 2025

Mission

The LPE Collective organizes workshops, a scholarly publication, and other activities bringing together academics and allies committed to understanding and changing the ways law shapes, and is shaped by, struggles for power and value.

  • With grant support from the University of California Berkeley School of Law, the LPE Collective produces the Journal of Law and Political Economy, which published four issues in 2025, including two special issues on climate change topics. The 2025 issues featured 22 articles, 9 book reviews and several essays, generating over 65,000 online views and downloads. The Journal also hosted two graduate student fellows.

    Expenses $54,710

  • In July 2025, we co-organized and co-produced the Global Law and Political Economy Summer Academy, an intensive skill-building workshop for 20 students and faculty over four days in Roccella Jonica, Italy. The program featured roundtable discussions, writing workshops, a cultural excursion, a case study session, master class, and career mentorship sessions.

  • This was the first full year sponsoring and editing the Law and Political Economy ejournal, which we launched in fall 2024 as part of the Legal Scholarship Network Social Science Research Network (SSRN) research paper series.

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. 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 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.

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

Listed as of 11 November 2026, under deductibility PC.

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.
