Other organizations at this address

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

This address is a suite or unit (STE 400). 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 · 2025

Mission

TO EMPOWER ASIAN AMERICAN AND PACIFIC ISLANDER (AAPI) AND ALL SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS AND ENTREPRENEURS BY PROVIDING ACCESS TO VALUABLE RESOURCES, SUPPORT NETWORKS, AND FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES. OUR MISSION IS TO CONNECT THESE BUSINESS OWNERS WITH THE CAPITAL AND TOOLS NEEDED TO OVERCOME GROWTH CHALLENGES AND ACHIEVE SUCCESS, FOSTERING A THRIVING COMMUNITY OF INNOVATIVE AND RESILIENT ENTERPRISES.

Activities or mission (Part I)

ADVANCE THE SMALL BUSINESS COMMUNITY BY FOSTERING ECONOMIC GROWTH.

  • SMALL BUSINESS PRIORITY - NATIONAL ACE WORKS WITH ALL SMALL BUSINESS COMMUNITIES THROUGH OUR TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM TO PROVIDE SMALL BUSINESSES AND ENTREPRENEURS THE RESOURCES AND EDUCATION THEY NEED TO BE SUCCESSFUL. ACE'S GOAL IS TO HELP ORGANIZATIONS DEVELOP EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATIONS, MARKETING, AND SOCIAL MEDIA BY TEACHING AND ONE-ON-ONE CONSULTING TO CHAMBERS, NON-PROFIT GROUPS, AND SMALL BUSINESSES WHO WANT TO TRANSITION TO DIGITAL PLATFORMS. ACE ALSO SUPPORTS BUSINESS ENTERPRISES AND CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE BY INVESTING IN LOCAL COMMUNITIES WHILE WORKING TO IMPROVE THE WELL-BEING, ECONOMIC RESILIENCE, AND MOBILITY OF THE SMALL BUSINESS COMMUNITY.

  • CONFERENCES AND SUMMITS - THE NATIONAL ACE ANNUAL CONFERENCE BROUGHT TOGETHER ENTREPRENEURS, SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS, LOCAL CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE FROM AROUND THE COUNTRY, CORPORATE PARTNERS, AND COMMUNITY LEADERS TO ENGAGE IN LEADERSHIP PROGRAMMING AND NETWORK BUILDING. PARTICIPANTS WILL DISCOVER INNOVATIVE OPPORTUNITIES FOR CAPITAL BUILDING, RECEIVE LEGISLATIVE UPDATES, AND HEAR INSPIRING STORIES FROM ENTREPRENEURS IN THE COMMUNITY. NATIONAL ACE ALSO HOSTS OTHER EVENTS AND SUMMITS FOR SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS FOR ACCESS TO CAPITAL, INVESTING IN SMALL BUSINESSES, AND STAYING COMPETITIVE IN A DIGITAL WORLD.

  • POLICY - NATIONAL ACE WORKS TO EMPOWER THE SMALL BUSINESS COMMUNITY BY ADVOCATING FOR POLICIES THAT HELP ENTREPRENEURS THRIVE. THE ORGANIZATION BRIDGES THE GAP BETWEEN SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS AND POLICYMAKERS THROUGH INITIATIVES LIKE CAPITOL HILL DAY, WHERE ENTREPRENEURS AND CHAMBER PARTNERS MEET DIRECTLY WITH MEMBERS OF CONGRESS AND ADMINISTRATION OFFICIALS TO ENSURE THEIR VOICES HELP SHAPE FEDERAL POLICY DECISIONS. THIS YEAR, 62 BUSINESS LEADERS FROM NATIONAL ACE AND ITS PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS MET WITH 40 CONGRESSIONAL OFFICES. ADDITIONALLY, NATIONAL ACE CONDUCTS POLICY RESEARCH TO ADDRESS CRITICAL DATA GAPS ON ISSUES INCLUDING SMALL BUSINESS CAPITAL SOURCES AND THE OPERATIONAL REALITIES OF MICRO-BUSINESSES. OUR RESEARCH AND ADVOCACY ARE ALSO INFORMED BY SMALL BUSINESS ROUNDTABLES HOSTED ACROSS THE COUNTRY. THESE DISCUSSIONS BRING TOGETHER ENTREPRENEURS, CORPORATE PARTNERS, AND GOVERNMENT LEADERS TO ENGAGE IN CONVERSATIONS ABOUT ISSUES IMPACTING SMALL BUSINESSES. THESE SESSIONS FOCUS ON TOPICS RANGING FROM WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT AND ACCESS TO FUNDING TO THE ADOPTION OF EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES LIKE AI AND MENTAL HEALTH. NATIONAL ACE ACTIVELY PARTICIPATES IN BROADER COALITION INITIATIVES, ISSUES STRATEGIC POLICY UPDATES TO CORPORATE SPONSORS, AND SUBMITS FORMAL LETTERS OF SUPPORT TO CHAMPION BUSINESS-FRIENDLY LEGISLATION. IN 2025, NATIONAL ACE HOSTED SEVEN IN-PERSON SMALL BUSINESS ROUNDTABLES NATIONWIDE.

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. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. 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

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.
