Other organizations at this address

1 other organization in the IRS Business Master File lists 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.

Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

THE FOUNTAINS PURPOSE IS TO PROMOTE INTERNATIONAL UNDERSTANDING OF ORIGINAL NATIONS PEOPLE AND THEIR TERRITORIES, WHICH ENABLE PEOPLE TO DEVELOP AN APPRECIATION FOR OTHER SOCIETIES, THEIR TRADITIONS AND CULTURE. WITH THE RECOGNITION THAT INDIGENOUS LANDS ARE AT THE GREATEST RISK OF EXPLOITATION AND DEVELOPMENT, THE FOUNTAIN IS DEDICATED TO HELPING TO PROTECT THESE LANDS WHICH CONTAIN APPROXIMATELY 80% OF THE WORLD'S BIOCULTURAL DIVERSITY THROUGH CONTRIBUTIONS TO INDIGENOUS LAND TRUSTS AND/OR OTHER STEWARDSHIP MODELS THAT ARE ACTIVATED TO PRESERVE THESE TERRITORIES.

  • SACRED TERRITORIES: WE WORK WITH ORIGINAL NATIONS AROUND THE PLANET TO HONOR, RESPECT, AND HELP PROTECT THEIR TRADITIONAL HOMELANDS THROUGH PROJECTS AND LAND TRUSTS THAT PUT THE LAND BACK INTO THE ORIGINAL PEOPLES STEWARDSHIP. CURRENTLY, WE ARE WORKING WITH THE MAMOS OF THE KGGABA NATION OF LA SIERRA NEVADA OF SANTA MARTHA AND HAVE SECURED FOUR OF NINE LAND TRUSTS IN THEIR NAME. WORKING WITH MEMBERS OF THE LAKOTA NATION, WE ARE RESEARCHING WAYS TO BEGIN A SIMILAR LANDBACK PROGRAM WITH THEM IN THE BLACK HILLS, SOUTH DAKOTA. THE BLACK HILLS IS THE SACRED TERRITORY OF THE LAKOTA PEOPLE AND HAS BEEN TAKEN AND COMMODIFIED AT THE EXPENSE OF THE HEALTH OF THE LAND AND THE ORIGINAL PEOPLES OF THAT LAND.

    Expenses $151,102 · Grants $132,863

  • SACRED CULTURES: IN WORKING WITH THESE ORIGINAL NATIONS, WE LEARN AND FOLLOW THE CULTURAL PROTOCOLS OF EACH CULTURE TO ENSURE THAT RESPECT AND UNDERSTANDING FOSTER HEALTHY RELATIONS. IN COLOMBIA, OUR ONGOING SUPPORT WITH THE KGGABA NATIONS PAGAMENTOS (SPECIFIC PRAYERS AND OFFERINGS TO THE GUARDIAN SPIRITS OF THE SACRED SITES DONE BY THE KGGABA TO HELP SUPPORT THE BALANCE OF MOTHER EARTH). ADDITIONALLY, WE HAVE HELPED THE KGGABA INITIATE A RESEARCH CENTER, A TAPIR RESTORATION PROJECT, AND GUINEA PIG FARMING PROJECT, ALL WITH THE INTENTION TO HELP PRESERVE BIODIVERSITY ON THEIR SACRED LANDS. IN THE BLACK HILLS, USA, WE SUPPORT A GARDEN PROJECT THAT GROWS FOOD FOR THE LAKOTA COMMUNITY, A SCHOOL LUNCH PROGRAM, AND A YEARLY SUNDANCE CEREMONY.

    Expenses $52,136 · Grants $45,872 · Revenue $2,080

  • SACRED ECONOMICS: THE WISDOM EMBEDDED IN THE ORIGINAL NATIONS PEOPLE IS DEEPLY VALUABLE AND ESSENTIAL IN THE PRESERVATION AND REGENERATION OF THIS PLANET DURING THESE TIMES. OUR WORK FOCUSES ON SHIFTING ECONOMICS AWAY FROM THE COMMODITY DRIVEN PROFIT-AT-THE-EXPENSE-OF-THE-EARTH-AND-LIVING-BEINGS MODEL TO ONE WHERE OUR CHOICES AND ACTIONS ARE RATHER REGENERATIVE AND INLINE WITH THE HEALTH OF THE WHOLE.

    Expenses $125,328 · Grants $117,209

  • FISCAL SPONSORSHIP: THE FOUNTAIN REGARDS FISCAL SPONSORSHIP AS AN ACT OF PRACTICING THE ORIGINAL PRINCIPLES OF RELATIONS. THE FOUNTAIN, THROUGHOUT ITS HISTORY, HAS BEEN A PLACE OF INCUBATION, A PLACE WHERE GERMINATING ORGANIZATIONS AND MOVEMENTS CAN COME TO BE HELD AS THEY GROW AND DEVELOP SO THEY CAN FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS TO GIVE A FOUNDATION FOR THEIR WORK TO GROW IN A CONSISTENT AND STRONG WAY FOR MOTHER EARTH AND ALL HER CREATION. AGREEMENTS ARE SIGNED WITH THE SPONSORED ORGANIZATION SO AS THEY GROW AND DEVELOP WE ALL STAY CONSISTENT WITH OUR LEGAL AND ETHICAL OBLIGATIONS AND MEET THE CORE PRINCIPLES THAT ARE THE FOUNDATION OF THE FOUNTAIN. THE AGREEMENTS OUTLINE THE LEVEL OF SERVICES, RECIPROCITY, AND REQUIREMENTS FOR COMPLIANCE BETWEEN THE FOUNTAIN AND THE ORGANIZATION ENTERING INTO THE FISCAL SPONSORSHIP AGREEMENT.

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.

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 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.

What this page reflects

The registration facts above come from the IRS Business Master File published 13 October 2026 and read 1 November 2026, for every organization at once. Returns through tax year 2024, the newest we have parsed for this organization.
