Other organizations at this address

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

This address is a suite or unit (SUITE 501A). 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

THE GLOBAL SOLIDARITY FUND (GSF) IS A UNIQUE PARTNERSHIP OF ORGANIZATIONS WORKING FOR INTEGRAL HUMAN DEVELOPMENT COMMITTED TO CREATING SYSTEMIC CHANGE AT THE GRASSROOTS LEVEL, IN ORDER TO UNLOCK SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES THAT EMPOWER THE POOR AND VULNERABLE. WE DO THIS THROUGH ACTIVATING AND LINKING CATHOLIC NETWORKS AND LIKEMINDED ENTITIES AND OTHER GLOBAL ACTORS, IN WAYS THAT REFLECT CATHOLIC SOCIAL TEACHING AND THE GLOBAL GOALS.

Activities or mission (Part I)

A TRANSFORMED WORLD IN WHICH ALL PEOPLE FLOURISH, WITH ACCESS TO SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY AND A HEALTHY LIFE, WITH THEIR ESSENTIAL HUMAN DIGNITY FULLY RESPECTED.

  • THE GSF'S MAIN AREAS OF FOCUS WILL BE WOMEN AND GIRLS, FAMILIES, AND HEALTH CARE. WITHIN THIS FRAMEWORK THERE ARE FOUR STRATEGIC PILLARS OF WORK: GLOBAL HEALTH, INCLUDING BUT NOT EXCLUSIVELY NONCOMMUNICABLE DISEASES -CAPACITY BUILDING -PEOPLE ON THE MOVE/DISPLACED PEOPLE, WITH A SPECIFIC FOCUS ON FAMILY AND CHILD PROTECTION ENTREPRENEURSHIP/JOB CREATION, WITH EMPHASIS ON UNLOCKING ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES FOR WOMEN AND GIRLS. THE GSF IS COMMITTED TO ENSURING A DATA-DRIVEN AND DATA-SUPPORTED IMPLEMENTATION, AS WELL AS A STRATEGIC APPROACH GUIDED BY FILLING EXISTING GAPS AND MAXIMIZING RESULTS OF EXISTING NETWORKS CREATING NEW ENTITIES. IN 2024, THE GLOBAL SOLIDARITY FUND EXPANDED THEIR PROGRAMME SUPPORT ON A VISION OF A WORLD WHERE EVERYONE HAS ACCESS TO SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY AND A HEALTHY LIFE, AND WHERE ESSENTIAL HUMAN DIGNITY IS FULLY RESPECTED. THE GSF ORGANIZATION'S FIRST STREAM OF WORK IS TO CONNECT CATHOLIC NETWORKS WITH PARTNERS TO DRIVE SYSTEMIC CHANGE FOR THE MOST VULNERABLE, STARTING WITH MIGRANTS, ESPECIALLY WOMEN AND CHILDREN. IN 2024, GSF WORKED WITH THEIR LOCAL PARTNERS TO EXPAND THEIR EFFORTS IN ETHIOPIA AND STARTED SIMILAR INITIATIVES IN COLOMBIA AND NIGERIA. THESE PROJECTS LAUNCHED AN INTEGRATED APPROACH WITH CONGREGATIONS THAT COMBINES ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT AND JOB CREATION, HEALTH, AND EDUCATION FOR THE POOREST AND MOST VULNERABLE, WITH A SPECIAL FOCUS ON WOMEN AND FAMILIES. THE GSF ORGANIZATION'S SECOND STREAM OF WORK IS TO FOCUS ITS EFFORTS IN CREATING PARTNERSHIPS AND OPPORTUNITIES THAT FURTHER EMPOWER CATHOLIC SISTERS' LEADERSHIP TO SHAPE DEVELOPMENT EFFORTS FOR THOSE IN NEED. TO IMPROVE THE RECOGNITION OF WOMEN RELIGIOUS' WORK, 2 POLICY PAPERS WERE PRODUCED TO STRENGHTEN THE SISTERS' ADVOCACY EFFORTS AGAINST HUMAN TRAFFICKING AND PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT IN LINE WITH THE COP27 EVENT IN LATE 2024. THE GSF ORGANIZATION'S THIRD STREAM OF WORK IS TO BUILD ALLIANCES AND TELL THE STORY OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH'S DEVELOPMENT CONTRIBUTION. THE GSF HAS RESPONDED TO THE CALL TO ACTION WITH URGENCY, WITH ITS NETWORK DRAWING FROM ITS DIVERSE STRENGTHS TO SUPPORT THIS LEADERSHIP VIA THE FOLLOWING ACTIONS: A. LAUDATO SI MOVEMENT - A CAMPAIGN FOR THE LAUNCH OF A DOCUMENTARY, DEVELOPED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE VATICAN, FOCUSING ON CLIMATE CHANGE. B. VOICES OF THE MIGRANTS - A CAMPAIGN TO COMMUNICATE THE PROJECTS UNDER THE CARE OF WOMEN AND MEN RELIGIOUS AND MISSIONARIES IN ORDER TO PROMOTE MIGRANT PEOPLE'S INCLUSION IN THE WORK FIELD.

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.

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 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.
