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 · 2025

Mission

To empower communities to pursue opportunities, address challenges, and bring dreams to reality.

Activities or mission (Part I)

North Dakota Rural Electric Cooperatives Foundation's exempt purpose is to advance the quality of life for people living in rural and frontier areas of North Dakota by providing education, research, and other tools to unincorporated associations, cooperatives, and nonprofit organizations which enable these organizations to provide essential services to rural people, especially the elderly, the poor, and the distressed, as well as Native Americans and other minority populations.

  • ND REC Foundation provides training and technical assistance to sustain quality of life for rural people and businesses at no charge to the individuals or businesses. The focus of the technical assistance recently is around food access in rural communities. ND REC Foundation was a subawardee for a USDA Regional Food Business Center 5-year grant with Region Five Development Commission. Purpose of the grant was to pay for employees' time to provide direct technical assistance to small-and-mid-sized food and farm businesses by partnering with other organizations in the region to develop a statewide action plan that will be aggregated with other regional state plans to find common goals and objectives to help with local and statewide objectives. (Continued on Schedule O)The work on this grant ended in early 2025 after the administration change determined the grant not in alignment with their priorities. ND REC Foundation was also awarded a Local Foods Promotion Program 3-year grant from USDA Agricultural Marketing Service to assist with providing technical assistance around local food aggregation and redistribution in a region within North Dakota and how this might help to reduce costs, increase local producers marketing reach and provide rural communities more access to fresh, local foods. The work on this grant in 2025 consisted of working with the various subcommittees to determine their needs out of the project, working with an architect to determine a possible layout for a building, and meeting with similar organizations to learn from them. ND REC Foundation was also awarded a grant from ND Department of Commerce to support a lineworker and electrical summer camp for high school students from around the state to help increase interest and awareness around these trades. The work on this grant in 2025 consisted of creating the itinerary, coordinating housing, transportation and meals for the students, and providing the administration of the grant. ND REC Foundation was awarded a Rural Food Sustainability grant from ND Department of Commerce to provide technical assistance to rural grocery stores in ND.

    Expenses $180,646

  • Collecting contributions to be used to build a new lineworker training facility that will be used jointly by NDAREC and BSC. Primarily the building will be leased by BSC to provide education to students interested in becoming lineworkers. Education and training courses will also be held by NDAREC in the facility for current lineworkers to teach new skills, providing safety training, and other relevant education and training needs.

    Expenses $45,000

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.

As filed, from the IRS e-Postcard file of 2 November 2026. The IRS publishes only each organization's most recent postcard, so earlier years are not shown. A 990-N carries no financial detail. The postcard also gives the principal officer's address, which is not shown here.

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.

Grants received

No itemized grant names this organization as a recipient. Only grants over $5,000 are itemized, and only by filers of the full Form 990.

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.
