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 103). 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

We envision a community where every young person understands that they matter, that they can overcome obstacles, and they are deeply loved. The Rock Program is committed to fostering an environment where students feel empowered to achieve greatness, knowing they have our support.

  • Empowered stands as a beacon of support, a tax-exempt, non-profit organization dedicated to nurturing student success through our array of services. Our collective mission revolves around enriching the lives of students within our community, empowering them to thrive. At the heart of our efforts lies The Rock Program, a cornerstone initiative driving transformative change. Whether its providing confidence-boosting attire and footwear to students in need or equipping them with essential school supplies for academic excellence, The Rock Program is steadfast in addressing students holistic needs. As of the close of 2023, The Rock Program boasted 15 fully operational Rock Resource Rooms, extending aid to over 10,000 students during times of challenge. The impact speaks volumes: 3,829 units of food distributed, alongside 2,030 units of clothing, 490 pairs of shoes, 3,363 personal hygiene essentials, and 3,817 school supplies distributed directly to students.

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.

As filed, from the IRS e-Postcard file of 26 October 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.

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.
