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 100). 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

Far Reaching Ministries Aviation, Inc. is dedicated to fulfilling the Great Commission given in Matthew 28:19-20: "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the HolySpirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age. We sent a Cessna Grand Caravan into Uganda in order to facilitate movement of missionaries, aid workers and humanitarian relief materials into remote, dangerous or inaccessible villages in Northeastern Africa. Our plane is operated by Mission Aviation Fellowship every week and assists multiple Christian and secular NGO workers. We establish outreaches for widows, orphans and vulnerable, suffering people that are largely neglected. We operate in nations all over the world, but the majority of our work is in Africa.

  • Missionary Outreach: We disciple women of faith using the Bible as our textbook. Our key initiatives for 2024 included weekly discipleship classes of our staff trainers and then ongoing classes in multiple communities in South Sudan. In 2024 we offered eight different classes per week, each group translates the material into the local dialect and all attendees are able to ask questions and share testimonies. Groups are no larger than fifty women each and weekly sessions last approximately two hours. The project director also teaches women in church retreats in the United States. We invest in pastors wives, Chaplains wives, and teachers of other women or children from Russia, Ukraine, South America, Mexico, and other African nations.

  • Aviation: Far Reaching Ministries Aviation (FRMA) continues to serve as a vital lifeline across Africa through its partnership with Mission Aviation Fellowship Uganda (MAF). This collaboration allows missionaries, chaplains, and relief teams to reach regions inaccessible by roaddelivering supplies, personnel, and emergency aid to the front lines of ministry. FRMA flights support discipleship programs, chaplain training, and humanitarian outreach, ensuring that the Gospel and the help it brings can reach even the hardest and most remote places.

    Expenses $67,196

  • Rabuna Fi: In 2024, Rabuna Fi God is able continued to disciple and equip women across South Sudan through daily teaching and weekly Bible studies. Seven active groups now meet in Nimule and surrounding communities, including Calvary Chapel Nimule, Rei Community, Motoyo West Anglican, Rock City Fellowship, and several gatherings among newly displaced families from the Murele tribes. Three women trained through Rabuna Fi were ordained as pastors through the Anglican Church of South Sudan and now lead outreach within the Mother's Union network. Two additional women have begun teaching in nearby IDP camps, multiplying the ministry's reach. Even in the teacher's absence, locally trained leaders continue weekly studies, prayer gatherings, and literacy classes - demonstrating that God truly is able to sustain and grow His work through faithful women.

    Expenses $48,495

  • Love Covers: Through Love Covers, FRMA offers to tangible expressions of Christ's compassion to those impacted by war and poverty. In partnership with Pastor Fedor in Ukraine and Far Reaching Ministries (FRM), women sewed and distributed 1,500 coats for children and several hundred for the elderly, while FRM contributed to the development of a new elderly care facility providing daily meals, shelter, and Gospel outreach. Looking forward, Love Covers is expanding into encouraging education for every child, with plans to host our VBS outreach for two primary schools in 2026, offering safe, Christ-centered gospel presentations plus a backpack, blanket, mosquito net, uniform and basic school supplies for registered students in the most vulnerable communities.

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.

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.
