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

Primary exempt purpose

The mission of Spokane Alliance United is to conduct training, public education, leadership development and research in order to build broad-based non-partisan civic power organizations in the Spokane region to address the fundamental common needs of the community including the inequities, and injustices facing low-income people and persons subjected to oppression or discrimination.

  • Community Organizing Training: During the fiscal year, the organization provided community organizing training to approximately 92 individuals. Two Foundations of Community Organizing trainings were conducted in October 2024 and March 2025, each consisting of 16 instructional hours over two days and serving a total of 55 participants. In May 2025, the organization hosted a 5-Day Regional Community Organizing Training for 37 leaders from across the Pacific Northwest to strengthen leadership and civic engagement skills. Public Education and Civic Engagement: In Fall 2024, the organization facilitated a series of small-group meetings engaging 210 participants in discussions on local community issues. These meetings culminated in a Discernment Assembly attended by more than 150 individuals, where participants identified priority areas for action, including housing equity, access to quality jobs, and support for the public education system. Leadership Formation and Citizen-Led Research: The organization supported four Research Action Teams composed of educators, union members, faith representatives, and community leaders. These teams conducted issue research and developed proposals to address local challenges in education, housing, and workforce development.

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

Related organizations

From Schedule R Part II, where a filer lists the tax-exempt organizations it is related to by control. It does not record shared board members or money.

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.
