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

TO ASSIST THE ERIE COUNTY MEDICAL CENTER CORPORATION IN PROCURING THE RESOURCES NEEDED TO BE THE MEDICAL CENTER OF CHOICE THROUGH EXCELLENCE IN PATIENT CARE AND CUSTOMER SERVICE.

Activities or mission (Part I)

THROUGHOUT 2024, ECMC EXPERIENCED CONTINUED GROWTH IN OUR HEALTHCARE SERVICES, BUILDING ON OUR POST-PANDEMIC SUCCESSES IN RESTORING OVERALL HOSPITAL OPERATIONS AND PATIENT VOLUMES. LIKE OTHER SAFETY NET HOSPITALS ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND LOCALLY, IT HAS BEEN CHALLENGING, BUT THE FOCUS ON OUR PATIENTS BY OUR ENTIRE ECMC FAMILY HAS SUPPORTED OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE TO MAKE PROGRESS AND PROVIDE OUR COMMUNITY WITH THE HIGH-QUALITY CARE THEY EXPECT AND DESERVE. IN ALMOST EVERY MEASURABLE CATEGORY, INCREASES DEMONSTRATED A SUSTAINABLE POSITIVE TREND IN PATIENT VOLUMES THAT IS CERTAINLY BENEFICIAL TO SERVING OUR COMMUNITY AND IMPROVING OUR FINANCIAL CHALLENGES. POSITIVE OPERATIONAL GROWTH WAS REFLECTED IN OUR INPATIENT AND OUTPATIENT SERVICES, EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT VISITS, AND SURGERIES. WE OFTEN SPEAK ABOUT ECMC'S UNIQUE CULTURE AND THE DEDICATION AND RESILIENCE OF OUR CAREGIVERS. THEY ARE THE CORNERSTONE OF OUR INSTITUTION. THEIR ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED CLINICAL EXCELLENCE SU

  • ON BEHALF OF THE HOSPITAL ("ECMC"), THE ECMC FOUNDATION RAISED, HELD, AND ADMINISTERED FUNDS THAT WERE INVESTED INTO ACHIEVING THE HIGHEST QUALITY OF HEALTHCARE AND TRAUMA CARE FOR PATIENTS, REGARDLESS OF THEIR RACE, GENDER, ETHNICITY, INCOME, OR INSURANCE STATUS. SUCH FUNDS WERE UTILIZED FOR FREE HEALTHCARE PROGRAMS, WELLNESS SEMINARS, AND COMMUNITY OUTREACH PROGRAMS IN THE CITY OF BUFFALO AND WESTERN NEW YORK. ECMC FOUNDATION'S MOBILE MAMMOGRAPHY COACH IS AN EXAMPLE OF A HEALTHCARE/EDUCATIONAL/WELLNESS PROGRAM FOR WOMEN THAT HAS BENEFITED FROM THE FINANCIAL RESOURCES THAT HAVE BEEN RAISED BY ECMC FOUNDATION. THE MOBILE SCREENING PROGRAM TRAVELS TO OFF-SITE LOCATIONS AND OFFERS FREE WALK-ON SCREENINGS FOR WOMEN, REGARDLESS OF THEIR INSURANCE STATUS, IN ADDITION TO BREAST HEALTH EDUCATION. ECMC FOUNDATION'S SUMMER YOUTH HEALTHCARE INTERNSHIP PROGRAM IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF HOW FUNDS RAISED BY ECMC FOUNDATION HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO IMPROVING HEALTH CARE EDUCATION FOR YOUNG CITIZENS. THE INTERNSHIP ALLOWS HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS TO EXPLORE CAREERS IN MEDICAL FIELDS AND THE HEALTH SCIENCES WHILE RECEIVING MENTORING BY HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS IN A HOSPITAL SETTING. EACH YEAR THE SUMMER YOUTH PROGRAM HAS 120 YOUTH PARTICIPANTS. ECMC FOUNDATION'S FUNDS HAVE ALSO CONTRIBUTED TO ADVANCEMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN MADE IN HOSPITAL STAFF TRAINING PROGRAMS AND EMPLOYEE EDUCATION SEMINARS. ECMC FOUNDATION PERIODICALLY PROVIDES FINANCIAL AND ADMINSTRATIVE SUPPORT FOR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS AT ECMC, INCLUDING INNOVATIONS IN TECHNOLOGY, MEDICAL EQUIPMENT, AND SAFETY FOR HOSPITAL PATIENTS AND EMPLOYEES. ECMC FOUNDATION'S ABILITY TO ADMINISTER DONOR REQUESTS AND/OR HOSPITAL NEEDS HAS HELPED ECMC BECOME ONE OF THE LEADING PUBLIC HOSPITALS IN THE CITY OF BUFFALO AND WESTERN NEW YORK COMMUNITY.

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.

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.
