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 · 2023

Mission

The University of Louisville Athletic Association is organized to develop intercollegiate athletic teams composed of students of the University of Louisville and to schedule and manage intercollegiate athletic contests, all in the harmony with and in subjection to the general education policy of the University of Louisville.

  • The University of Louisville's 2023-24 athletic year was defined by exceptional academic accomplishments, highlighted by a department-record 93% Graduation Success Rate (GSR), as reported by the NCAA-surpassing the school's previous best and reinforcing a strong upward trajectory in student-athlete graduation outcomes. Demonstrating continued commitment to academic excellence, ten Cardinal programs earned a perfect 1,000 in the most recent single-year Division I Academic Progress Rate (APR) . These teams included men's and women's basketball, men's cross country, field hockey, men's and women's golf, lacrosse, men's tennis, men's track and field, and volleyball. Collectively, Cardinal student-athletes achieved a department-wide GPA of 3.311 for the spring 2024 semester, marking the 27th consecutive semester with a GPA of 3.0 or higher. Remarkably, 98 student-athletes earned a perfect 4.0 GPA during the term. Supporting this success, the Association awarded over $17.5 million in scholarships to nearly 900 student-athletes. On the field, Louisville maintained its standing as a national athletic force. The Cardinals ranked 27th in the Learfield Directors' Cup, marking their 14th straight year among the top 40 programs nationwide. The women's sports programs also achieved a notable ranking of 14th nationally in the Capital One Cup standings. For the year, nine Louisville programs earned a top-25 national ranking, and 11 teams advanced to postseason play. A major highlight came from the football program, which, under head coach Jeff Brohm, secured its first 10-win season since 2013 and made its inaugural appearance in the ACC Championship game. Individual athletes also delivered historic performances. Anna DeBeer powered women's volleyball to a third consecutive Elite Eight berth and was honored as ACC Player of the Year and AVCA East Region Player of the Year. In men's tennis, Etienne Donnet and Natan Rodrigues became the first Cardinals to reach the NCAA Semifinals. Jayden Ulrich made Cardinal history in women's track and field with top-five NCAA Championship finishes in multiple events, earning a spot on the 2024 U.S. Olympic team in the discus. In swimming and diving, the global stage beckoned as three Cardinals-Murilo Sartori (Brazil), Nicolas Albiero (USA), and Else Praasterink (Netherlands)-qualified for the 2024 Olympics, capping a year of excellence that blended academic distinction with athletic achievement.

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.

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 SOUNK.

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.
