Other organizations at this address

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.

Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

Our mission is to be a catalyst for community collaboration and charitable giving; to create permanent endowment funds as a sustaining resource to improve quality of life and place in eastern Kentucky.

Activities or mission (Part I)

The primary purpose of the organization is to receive, hold, handle, administer, invest, and reinvest money and property of all kinds received by gift, devise, payments, bequest, or appointment, in trust or otherwise, for charitable purposes, primarily in, or for the benefit of, the people of southeastern Kentucky, including for such purposes as (A) to assist communities and organizations in providing innovative, high-quality programs and services to the residents of southeastern Kentucky; (B) to administer for charitable purposes property donated to the corporation; (C) to distribute money for such purposes in accordance with the terms of gifts, bequests, devises to the corporation not inconsistent with its purposes, as set forth in these articles of incorporation, or in accordance with determinations made by the Board of Directors pursuant to these articles of incorporation; and (D) to distribute property to qualified charitable organizations for charitable purposes.

  • During the past year, the Foundation: (1) continued to operate and establish a well-grounded, well-known and well-regarded office and staff in the heart of the southeastern Kentucky coal fields while establishing and participating in regional initiatives to transition to a diverse economy as the coal industry continues to decline; (2) met national standards for US community foundations as set forth by the Community Foundations National Standards Board at the National Council on Foundations; (3) provided fiscal and administrative sponsorships for numerous organizations; and (4) provided leadership and support to the Appalachia Funders Network, a collaborative of public and private funders working together to build community capacity and promote an equitable economic transition into new and emerging sectors as the coal industry continues to decline.

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.

The four totals the IRS asks for on Part I of the Form 990, as filed. A dash means the figure was not present on the return — not that it was zero.

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 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.
