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

This address is a suite or unit (STE 8). 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

To represent victim/survivors of relationship abuse and member programs; challenge systems and institutions; promote social change; and support, educate, and connect member programs.

  • Violence Free Minnesota (VFMN) is the state's primary resource on responding to and ending relationship abuse. VFMN works to represent victim/survivors of relationship abuse and member programs providing direct services; challenge systems & institutions; promote social change; and support, educate, and connect member programs. VFMN does this through technical assistance to member programs, providing learning and leadership opportunities to increase the capacity of member programs, leading public awareness around domestic violence, and through public policy that is trauma-informed and responsive to the various needs of survivors in MN. VFMN is the only agency in the state that tracks those killed due to domestic violence in Minnesota in our annual Domestic Violence Homicide Report. The Homicide Report tracks and honors those killed due to domestic violence, as well as provides robust recommendations for policy makers, systems players, and community members to prevent domestic violence incidents and homicides. VFMN also curates the Clothesline Project in order to honor and memorialize each victim lost to domestic violence. VFMN also holds a Survivor Fund as part of its economic empowerment program. These funds are a one-time, low-barrier cash grant to domestic and sexual violence survivors for the purposes of increasing and/or maintaining housing stability and addressing survivor's immediate needs in order to access safety and stability.

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. 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.
