Mission

THE PURPOSE OF THE LEAGUE OF WOMEN FOR COMMUNITY SERVICE SHALL BE TO UNDERTAKE SUCH WORK, EDUCATIONAL AND CHARITABLE, AS WILL BENEFIT THE COMMUNITY AND TO COOPERATE WITH OTHER AGENCIES WORKING FOR THE SAME END. THE LEAGUE SHALL SERVE AS A FORUM FOR INFORMING THE PUBLIC ABOUT PERTINENT ISSUES THAT AFFECT THE SOCIAL, ECONOMIC, AND GENERAL WELL-BEING OF THE COMMUNITY. SUCH TOPICS MIGHT INCLUDE BUT NOT BE LIMITED TO, HEALTH, EDUCATION, AND SOCIAL CONCERNS/ISSUES.

  • THE LEAGUE IS IN THE MIDST OF RESTORATION PLANNING FOR ITS HEADQUARTERS. WE HAD AN ARCHITECTURAL, STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS AND CONDITIONS ASSESSMENT COMPLETED. MEANWHILE WE HAVE BEEN SORTING, CATALOGING, AND PREPARING OUR PAPERS AND DOCUMENTS FOR ARCHIVAL AND STORAGES WITH THE HELP OF UNIVERSITY ARCHIVISTS. THE LEAGUE'S CONSULTANT HAS BEEN SUBMITTING GRANT PROPOSALS TO BEGIN ADDRESSING IMMEDIATE BUILDING REMEDIATION. CAPITAL CAMPAIGN DISCUSSION IS UNDERWAY. TRADITIONALLY OUR THREE LARGEST PROGRAMS HAVE BEEN A WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH SPEAKER'S FORUM. UNDER CHARITABLE ACTIVITIES THERE HAS BEEN A COLLEGE SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM FOR BLACK WOMEN, THANKSGIVING AND CHRISTMAS GIFT CARDS, FOOD, AND CLOTHING FOR FAMILIES IN NEED, AND PUBLIC SPEAKING EVENTS HIGHLIGHTING THE ROLE OF THE LEAGUE'S EARLY PIONEERS IN LOCAL AND NATIONAL BLACK HISTORY. BUT WITH COVID-19 THE BUILDING HAS BEEN CLOSED, EXCEPT TO MEMBERS SAFELY FOLLOWING SOCIAL DISTANCING PRECAUTIONS. LEAGUE ATTENTION HAS BEEN FOCUSED INWARD, CREATING A NEW WEBSITE AND PROMOTIONAL MATERIAL, SUBCOMMITTEE WORK, GRANT SEARCH AND PROPOSAL SUBMISSION. THE PANDEMIC DID NOT PREVENT US FROM SUPPORTING FAMILIES DURING THE HOLIDAYS AND MAKING A CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTION TO A LOCAL NON-PROFIT.

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.

The four totals the IRS asks for on Part I of the Form 990, as filed. A dash means the figure was not present on the return — not that it was zero.

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.

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.

Grants received

Other IRS files

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 11 November 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.

What this page reflects
