Other organizations at this address
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.

Mission and programs · 2024
Mission
The purpose of the corporation is to promote social welfare within the meaning of Section 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), or any successor provision, including, but not limited to, by fostering and developing the game and culture of Go in North America, and by supporting the purposes for which Seattle Go Center, a Washington nonprofit corporation, is organized, in order to achieve the goals Japanese go master Iwamoto Kaoru intended when he founded the Seattle Go Center.
-
IGOF provides a shared space for groups that support its mission. These groups include the Seattle Go Center, Seattle Shogi, Zoka Go Club, and other regional Go groups. Seattle Go Center meets 3-4 times per week, with 40-65 people per week attending, depending on events. Seattle Shogi meets once per week with 6-10 people, and Zoka meets about once per week with a few people. Occasionally other groups use the space, such as a Japanese tea ceremony group or other cultural exchange groups. In addition, IGO is bringing visiting Go professionals to the shared space to teach and promote Go. IGOF pays for their transportation, accommodations, and food. These events have 20-30 people depending on the event and how many days the pro is resident.

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.

Grants received
No itemized grant names this organization as a recipient. Only grants over $5,000 are itemized, and only by filers of the full Form 990.
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
Not present in the most recent drop.
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.
