11 other organizations in the IRS Business Master File list the same street address. matched by us

This address is a suite or unit (STE 1025). Organizations that share one are often clients of the same office-services firm, accountant or registered agent rather than related to each other.

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

IASP is dedicated to preventing suicide and suicidal behaviour alleviating its effects and providing a forum for academics mental health professionals crisis workers volunteers and suicide survivors.

  • IASP takes a lead role in developing guiding and supporting the global response to COVID-19 and future public health emergencies and natural disasters in order to mitigate their potential impact on suicidal behaviour. Covid 19 and its longer term effects on suicidal behaviour continues to be monitored and further the development of IASPs strategic response to the potential global impact of public health emergencies and natural disasters on suicidal behaviour.

    Expenses $6,000

  • The World Health Organization WHO encourages all its members to take effective action to prevent suicidal behaviour but recognises that there is no one way forward: [t]he steps a country should take next will depend on where the country is on the way towards suicide prevention WHO 2014: 66. Countries that have relatively comprehensive national response are advised to focus on evaluation and improvement updating knowledge with new data and emphasising effectiveness and efficiency. Countries with existing suicide prevention activities should identify what is already in place and where there are gaps that need to be filled. Countries yet to undertake suicide prevention activities should concentrate on identifying and engaging stakeholders developing activities where there is greatest need or where resources already exist and improving surveillance. IASP recognise the need to provide expert support to countries especially low and middle income countries [LaMICs] where suicide prevention action has not yet been initiated or where activities are being under- taken in a non-strategic and uncoordinated manner.

  • Suicide remains illegal in approx 20 countries worldwide and attempted suicide is punishable under Sharia law in a further 10 countries1. The World Health Organization WHO Global Report WHO 2014 found no empirical evidence that decriminalising suicidal behaviours leads to an increase in suicide rates and urges countries to "review their legal provisions in relation to suicide to ensure they do not deter people from seeking help" p. 51. Decriminalisation is a stepping stone in the prevention of suicide and requires the accompaniment of multilevel prevention efforts. IASP supports the decriminalisation of suicide and suicidal behaviour so as not to penalise those who attempt suicide or the families who lose someone through suicide. A fundamental part of IASPs global policy and advocacy work aims to strengthen the forum of expertise who can provide a range of support in the development of global policies and national strategies.

    Expenses $8,000

Sessions vary greatly from research outcomes to workshops training opportunities and a public forum.

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.

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.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Auto-Revocation List

  • Exemption revoked 15 May 2010, reinstated 15 May 2010.

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.
