1 other organization in the IRS Business Master File lists 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 FRIENDS OF FOUNDATION ACADEMIES SUPPORTS, ENHANCES, AND PROMOTES THE WORK OF FOUNDATION ACADEMIES BY RAISING FUNDS AND DELIVERING SERVICES, PROGRAMS, AND PARTNERSHIPS THAT EQUITABLY SERVE THE BEST INTERESTS OF OUR SCHOOL COMMUNITY.

Activities or mission (Part I)

To support, enhance and promote the work of Foundation Academies by raising funds and delivering services, programs, and partnerships that equitably serve the best interests of our school community.

  • Under NJ law, charter schools may not build facilities with public funds. To expand and improve our high school facilities, the Friends of Foundation Academies purchased the neighboring vacant Holy Cross rectory site and spent the better part of the 2018-19 school year constructing a new 10,217 square foot addition in the city's south ward. The existing school building received a complete HVAC, electrical, and interior upgrade. The Friends of FA proudly owns and maintains the high school campus and leases it back to the school.

    Expenses $954,477 · Revenue $779,793

  • Throughout college, there are several crucial moments that can put a student at risk of leaving school. The purpose of the Friends of Foundation Academy Knight Fund is to assist FAC alumni, currently enrolled in college or post-secondary institutions, in managing financial hardships that can hinder students from entering or persisting through their post-secondary schooling and careers. Through donations to the Friends of Foundation Academy, Inc, the Knight Fund provides awards, persistence grants and scholarships to deserving alumni.

    Expenses $62,474 · Grants $62,474

  • Funds raised by the Friends of FA help to fill the stark public funding gap between FA and our district counterparts. Support from donations to the Friends provides high-quality enrichment opportunities for students and drives the training, development, and celebration of our remarkable faculty.

    Expenses $943,047

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.

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

The 10 largest by cash amount. The API serves every itemized grant.

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.

What this page reflects

The registration facts above come from the IRS Business Master File published 13 October 2026 and read 1 November 2026, for every organization at once. Returns through tax year 2024, the newest we have parsed for this organization.
