2 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 · 2023

• Program and other educational support from private donors strengthens academic programs and brings top-flight scholars, thoughtful lecturers and breathtaking performances to KU. It also expands the scope of outreach programs throughout the state and supports valuable acquisitions by KU's libraries and museums.

  Expenses $90,336,339 · Grants $90,336,339 · Revenue $5,166,764

• Faculty support includes over 200 named, endowed positions, including 8 new faculty support funds endowed during this fiscal year. Private funding augments salaries and supports awards, professional travel and professional development. This support is invaluable in creating the vibrant teaching and research environment that one expects at an international research university.

  Expenses $65,500,235 · Grants $65,500,235

• Student Support - Virtually all privately funded scholarships, awards and fellowships provided by KU come from donor contributions to KU Endowment. This year, 96 new endowed scholarship and student support funds were created and about 9,671 students received financial assistance from privately funded scholarships at KU Endowment.

  Expenses $53,063,875 · Grants $53,063,875

• Facilities support - Construction, furnishings and equipment funded by private giving fluctuates from year to year depending on the timeline of construction projects. More than two-thirds of the University of Kansas buildings and about 85% of the land available for campus expansion were made possible by private gifts.

  Expenses $65,102,193 · Grants $65,102,193 · Revenue $721,842

As filed on the 2023 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Officers and directors · 2023

As listed in Part VII of the 2023 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

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.

Related organizations

From Schedule R Part II, where a filer lists the tax-exempt organizations it is related to by control. It does not record shared board members or money.

Taxable family

From Schedule R Parts I, III and IV: entities that legally are the filer, and taxable partnerships, corporations and trusts it is related to. These record ownership and control, not shared board members or money.

California fundraising campaigns

Campaigns run by paid fundraisers, commercial coventurers and thrift stores naming this organization, as California published them. Both figures are as filed, and what the first one counts depends on the campaign type — a coventurer or a thrift store files its own sales rather than money collected for the charity. The 990 reports this only as a yearly total, never per campaign.

Amounts are as filed and do not add up: a commercial coventurer reports one promotion's whole gross once for each charity that shared in it. A campaign may also name more than one registered charity, in which case it appears on each.
