  • 10-COUNTY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT: A STRONG ECONOMY CREATES PATHWAYS TO INDIVIDUAL PROSPERITY AND PROVIDES THE TAX BASE NEEDED TO SUPPORT ROBUST TRANSPORTATION, QUALITY EDUCATION, AFFORDABLE HOUSING, AND CULTURAL AND INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENTS. THE ALLEGHENY CONFERENCE DRIVES THESE OUTCOMES BY WORKING DIRECTLY WITH COMPANIES AND OTHER KEY STAKEHOLDERS TO ATTRACT, EXPAND, AND RETAIN BUSINESSES IN THE PITTSBURGH REGION. IN 2024, WE DROVE $361 MILLION IN CAPEX. IN 2024, WE DROVE $361 MILLION IN CAPEX. SEE SCHEDULE O FOR A SAMPLE OF THE 2024 HIGH-IMPACT PROJECTS THAT REPRESENT THIS GROWTH.- MAINSPRING ENERGY: MAINSPRING ENERGY SELECTED FINDLAY TOWNSHIP FOR ITS MANUFACTURING FACILITY, REPRESENTING $175 MILLION IN TOTAL INVESTMENT, INCLUDING $87 MILLION IN FEDERAL FUNDING. THE FACILITY WILL CREATE 600 PERMANENT JOBS AND AN ADDITIONAL 300 CONSTRUCTION JOBS. ONCE OPERATIONAL, IT WILL PRODUCE UP TO 1,000 LINEAR GENERATORS ANNUALLY, THE POWER EQUIVALENT TO MEET THE ELECTRICITY NEEDS OF UP TO A QUARTER OF A MILLION U.S. HOMES. MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC POWER PRODUCTS, INC.: MEPPI ANNOUNCED A $93 MILLION INVESTMENT TO EXPAND AND BUILD AN ADVANCED MANUFACTURING FACILITY IN THE REGION. THIS NEW FACTORY WILL CREATE 200 JOBS AND RETAIN OVER 800 POSITIONS. THE FACILITY WILL PRODUCE CUTTING-EDGE SWITCHGEARS, ENHANCING POWER RELIABILITY AND SUPPORTING THE MODERNIZATION OF THE ELECTRIC GRID WHILE REDUCING CARBON EMISSIONS. - ADVOCATING FOR PRO-GROWTH POLICIES: THE ALLEGHENY CONFERENCE SUPPORTS PRO-GROWTH LEGISLATION, PUBLIC POLICY, AND REGULATORY ACTIONS TO GROW THE ECONOMY BY IMPROVING COMPETITIVENESS, CREATING FAVORABLE BUSINESS CONDITIONS, REMOVING POLICY BARRIERS AND SECURING TRANSFORMATIVE PUBLIC SECTOR INVESTMENT. WE WORK AT ALL LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT LOCAL, STATE AND FEDERAL TO GUIDE POLICY AND ADVOCACY EFFORTS TO INCREASE ECONOMIC COMPETITIVENESS, ATTRACT AND RETAIN JOBS, AND ACCELERATE GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES REGIONWIDE.- STATE INVESTMENTS: A TOP BARRIER TO BUSINESS INVESTMENT IN SWPA HAS BEEN THE LACK OF PAD-READY SITES. THE NEW $500 MILLION PA SITES PROGRAM, CREATED AS PART OF THE 2024-25 STATE BUDGET, WILL DIRECTLY ADDRESS THIS CHALLENGE BY BRINGING MORE COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL SITES ONLINE, MAKING THE REGION MORE COMPETITIVE FOR NEW DEVELOPMENT. - TAX COMPETITIVENESS: PENNSYLVANIA IS STRENGTHENING ITS BUSINESS CLIMATE THROUGH TAX REFORMS. THE CORPORATE NET INCOME (CNI) TAX RATE IS SET TO DECLINE FROM 7.9% IN 2025 TO 4.99% BY 2031 REDUCING IT BY HALF FROM THE ORIGINAL LEVEL. THE STATE IS ALSO GRADUALLY INCREASING THE NET OPERATING LOSS (NOL) DEDUCTION LIMIT FROM 40% TO 80% BY 2029. THESE CHANGES SEND A CLEAR SIGNAL THAT PENNSYLVANIA IS OPEN FOR BUSINESS AND INVESTMENT. - PERMITTING REFORM: EFFICIENT PERMITTING IS CRITICAL FOR SUSTAINABLE GROWTH. THE STREAMLINING PERMITS FOR ECONOMIC EXPANSION AND DEVELOPMENT (SPEED) PROGRAM AND PA PERMIT FAST TRACK PROGRAM INTRODUCED KEY REFORMS, INCLUDING A SECURE PERMIT TRACKING SYSTEM, THIRD-PARTY REVIEWS FOR SELECT PERMITS, AND DEFINED REVIEW TIMELINES TO ACCELERATE PROJECT APPROVALS.

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.

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 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.
