Other organizations at this address

1 other organization in the IRS Business Master File lists the same street address. matched by us

This address is a suite or unit (STE J). 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 · 2024

Mission

The organization's primary exempt purpose is to promote nonsmoking as the norm through smoking prevention, education programs, information dissemination, technical assistance and training.

Activities or mission (Part I)

The organization informed, educated and provided technical assistance to tobacco control leaders, governmental and non-governmental agencies, the media, educators, parents and the general public about smokefree air and secondhand smoke issues through its website, newsletters and bulletins, listservs, individualized technical assistance, presentations, trainings and public speaking engagements at video conferences and video seminars throughout the country.ANRF also analyzed tobacco law documents which resulted in new data being inputted into its U.S. Tobacco Control Laws Database. Reports and data runs from the database were used to assist researchers, communicate smokefree trends and the status of smokefree laws to the media and the public. This program also collected and catalogued new documents for inclusion in the organization's expanded Tobacco Industry Tracking Database and related website.

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.

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.
