1 other organization in the IRS Business Master File lists 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

• Affordable Housing Program: As a non-profit developer, Humanities Foundation plays a crucial role in facilitating affordable housing projects from inception to completion. Our organization serves various roles, ranging from general partner and managing member to developer, allowing us to access funds exclusively available to nonprofit entities. We provide essential financing to projects and collaborate with construction professionals, including engineers, architects, and builders, to realize affordable housing developments. Upon construction completion, Humanities Foundation engages professional management companies to handle property marketing, leasing, and maintenance. Affordable housing encompasses a broad spectrum of income levels and price ranges. What truly defines housing as "affordable" is the rent or mortgage payment relative to an individual or family's income. According to the federal government, rental housing is considered "affordable" if residents pay no more than 30 percent of their income on rent. Mortgage lenders generally evaluate a home's affordability when the mortgage payment does not exceed 35 percent of the borrower's income. In assessing affordability in relation to income, we employ the term "Area Median Income" (AMI), calculated and published annually by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The term "median" indicates that half of all households in the area have income greater than this amount. The Humanities Foundation prioritizes affordable units for individuals with incomes within the 30% to 80% AMI range. This means that residents in our communities earn less than half of the average income compared to the entire regional population. AMI serves as the basis for calculating rental amounts according to the 30% of income standard for affordable housing. We utilize public and private partnerships to ensure that rent remains affordable and that construction and maintenance costs do not place a burden on our residents. Recognizing the need for supportive services, the Humanities Foundation has established a range of strategic partnerships to offer services such as health screenings, health education programs, after-school activities, youth summer camps, meals, on-site food banks, and community gardens. In our housing program, we've undertaken various projects: Magnolia 61: A 60-unit apartment complex designed for seniors aged 55 and older located at 1830 Magwood Drive, Charleston, SC.

• Affordable Housing Development: Our organization offers services that identify new opportunities for affordable housing and assess the feasibility of developments intended to benefit low-income families and seniors. Collaborating closely with our partners, Humanities Foundation actively pursues sites that qualify for Low-Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC). Through innovative funding strategies, we have harnessed resources such as Community Development Block Grants (CDBG), HOME funds, Federal Home Loan Bank funds, Lowcountry Housing Trust contributions, and other grants. These resources have enabled us to develop over 2,500 affordable housing units across South Carolina, Georgia, Louisiana, and Virginia.

To ensure the program's sustainability, Shelternet's operating costs are covered by the Foundation's operational funds.

• Resident Services and Marketplace Food Program: Our Marketplace program, operated in collaboration with strategic partners like local churches, school districts, food pantries, and community organizations, strives to alleviate food insecurity. Utilizing a fleet of five refrigerated cargo vans and coordinated efforts by dedicated staff, we distribute food to apartment residents, organize community distributions, and address food deserts. Since its launch in 2014, the program has delivered over 10 million pounds of fresh food, equivalent to one meal per pound. Additionally, we're actively expanding our Telemedicine program to bridge the gap caused by transportation challenges, enabling low-income seniors to connect with their healthcare providers through video services from the comfort of their homes.Our transportation services not only facilitate access to community events, health fairs, and educational programs but also foster a sense of camaraderie among residents during shopping trips. We take pride in offering after-school and summer programs that feature a diverse range of activities, including educational tours, arts and crafts, sports and recreation, entrepreneurship, technology workshops, and mentoring. These programs are a tribute to the memory of Reverend Clementa Pinckney, a fervent advocate for education and youth development. In response to the tragic events of 2015 at the Mother Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, SC, these initiatives stand as a testament to our commitment to community enrichment.In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic that emerged in March 2020, the Humanities Foundation has intensified its resident services and community outreach efforts. To date, we've provided emergency financial assistance to more than 55,000 families, ensuring their access to utility services to prevent disconnection or eviction. Our Marketplace food pantry program has contributed to over 10 million distributed meals through more than 400 curbside food distributions. Furthermore, we've assisted residents with information about virtual healthcare options, financial support, and access to telecommunications for remote learning, acknowledging the evolving needs of our community.

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

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.
