Mission

ACT - A Common Thread ACT is a nonprofit organization established in 2020. ACT's mission is to provide free self-serve farmer markets to remote locations, senior living facilities, mobile home courts and other facilities across Pierce, Thurston, Lewis and King Counties of Washington State. ACT procures its food primarily through donations and receives funding from government grants and contracts administered by the Washington State Department of Agriculture. ACT's operating model relies on use of volunteer labor and generally allows for donated food to be picked up from donors and distributed to those in need within these communities within the same day.

  • ACT's mission is to provide free self-serve farmer markets to remote locations, senior living facilities, mobile home courts and other facilities across Pierce, Thurston, Lewis and King Counties of Washington State.

    Expenses $5,291,540

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 2 November 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.

Grants received

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.
