Other organizations at this address

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

This address is a suite or unit (STE 101). 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

Create opportunities for high-potential students from low-income households to define their individual path through high school, college, and career.

  • Access College programming begins after a selective admissions process at the end of 10th grade, and assists high school students with college admissions and financial aid through tutoring, workshops, and one-on-one counseling.

    Expenses $196,740

  • Access Career programming runs from the second year of college through college graduation and beyond (via alumni programming) to ensure students make a successful transition from college to career. During college, the organization supports students with career development through a summer career readiness bootcamp, speaker series, cohort meetings covering a variety of career readiness topics, networking events with the community of donors and supporters, and personalized career counseling and guidance. Networking opportunities and personalized career counseling and guidance are also available to alumni upon request.

    Expenses $342,188 · Grants $154,147

  • The Social and Emotional Learning program runs throughout the course of Access Opportunity's 6-year program and is led by a team of social workers and counselors who provide direct service to students via one-on-one counseling and check-ins, as well as through group sessions. A particular focus of the SEL program is to support first-generation-to-college students with navigating the transition into college and identifying campus resources in order to help ensure that students make a successful transition from high school to college. The SEL program also includes a peer mentorship program as well as family engagement programming that partners and shares resources with families on their students' goals so they feel empowered to help their students reach those goals.

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.

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.
