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

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.

    Expenses $32,000 · Grants $32,000

  • THE FOUNDATION IN JOINT EFFORTS WITH THE LOCAL COMMUNITY RAISED FUNDS TO PROVIDE GRANTS TO LOCAL ELEMENTARY AND HIGH SCHOOLS IN THE CLOVIS UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT. MANY SCHOOLS IN THE CLOVIS UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT WOULD LIKE TO IMPLEMENT SPECIAL PROGRAMS AS PART OF THEIR CURRICULUM TO BETTER SERVICE THEIR STUDENTS; HOWEVER, THE SCHOOLS DO NOT HAVE THE FUNDING TO DO SO. THESE PROGRAMS INCLUDE CAREER/COLLEGE CENTERS, READING PROGRAMS, MUSIC LABS, ETC. THE FOUNDATION PROVIDES GRANTS TO LOCAL ELEMENTARY AND HIGH SCHOOLS TO FUND THESE PROGRAMS.

    Expenses $191,547 · Grants $191,547

  • THE DOC B LEADERSHIP ACADEMY IS A LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM THAT WILL MAINTAIN THE LONG-STANDING AND UNIQUE PHILOSOPHIES THAT HAVE SUPPORTED THE DISTRICT'S SUCCESS OVER TIME. THE ACADEMY WILL GIVE THE DISTRICT A PERMANENT VENUE IN WHICH EMERGING LEADERS ARE TRAINED AND MENTORED IN THE DECISION-MAKING PRINCIPLES THAT HAVE SHAPED THE CLOVIS UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT'S STUDENT-CENTERED FOCUS AND HIGH STANDARDS OF ACHIEVEMENT. AS A RESULT, TEACHERS, STUDENTS AND THE COMMUNITY FLOURISH.

    Expenses $80,389

  • VARIOUS GRANTS AND SUPPORT OF CLOVIS UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT ACTIVITIES, INCLUDING HEALTH AND WELLNESS GRANTS AND GRANTS FOR NEW TEACHERS PROGRAM.

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.
