Other organizations at this address

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 17). 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

THE INSTITUTE CONDUCTS NON-PARTISAN RESEARCH INTO NYS GOVERNMENTAL AND ECONOMIC ISSUES OF INTEREST TO BUSINESS, LABOR AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC.

Activities or mission (Part I)

NONPARTISAN RESEARCH ON GOVERNMENT & ECONOMIC ISSUES PERTAINING TO NYS WHICH ARE OF INTEREST TO BUSINESS, LABOR, & THE GENERAL PUBLIC.

  • AS SERIOUS DISCUSSIONS BEGAN AT THE STATE LEVEL REGARDING UPDATES TO THE ABUSE OF DOMINANCE (AKA "ANTITRUST") LEGISLATION, PPI CREATED A PUBLIC EDUCATION CAMPAIGN TO DISCUSS THE IMPLICATIONS OF ENACTING SUCH LEGISLATION ON NEW YORK STATE'S ECONOMY. THIS EDUCATION CAMPAIGN WAS DESIGNED SOLELY TO EDUCATE THE PUBLIC THROUGH PUBLIC OUTREACH AND INFORMATION THAT WAS PROVIDED ON A DEDICATED WEBSITE.

    Expenses $3,985,698

  • PPI PARTNERED WITH THE NYS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL ON A COMPETITIVENESS PROJECT. THE GOAL OF THE PROJECT IS TO MAKE NEW YORK MORE AFFORDABLE, REVERSE OUTMIGRATION, AND SUPPORT ECONOMIC GROWTH AND OPPORTUNITY. AN ECONOMIST WAS HIRED TO PUT TOGETHER THE DATA AND ASSEMBLE RECOMMENDATIONS, WITH INPUT FROM STAKEHOLDERS, PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS (CHAMBERS, IDAS, TRADE ASSOCIATIONS) AND SELECTED INVESTORS. SIGNIFICANT FUNDRAISING WAS DONE TO SUPPORT THE PROJECT AND THE MARKETING OF FINAL RECOMMENDATIONS.

    Expenses $92,452

  • Withheld by Nonprofiteer: this text may name a private individual.

    Expenses $33,465

  • THE NEW YORK BUSINESS DEFENSE FUND (NYBDF) IS THE LEGAL ARM OF PPI, CHALLENGING FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT REGULATORY OVERREACH AND UNCONSTITUTIONAL LEGISLATION. THE NYBDF WORKS TO ENSURE THE LEGISLATIVE CLIMATE PROMOTES ECONOMIC GROWTH FOR NEW YORK BUSINESSES.

    Expenses $10,890

  • DURING 2025, PPI PARTNERED WITH THE U.S. CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AS PART OF ITS PREPARING TOMORROW'S WORKFORCE INITIATIVE. THE FUNDS WILL BE USED IN SUPPORT OF WORKFORCE READINESS AND BUSINESS EDUCATION PROGRAMMING, INCLUDING EFFORTS TO ADVANCE AWARENESS OF THE AP BUSINESS PRINCIPLES/PERSONAL FINANCE COURSE. THE PROJECT RUNS THROUGH AUGUST 2026.

    Expenses $719

As filed on the 2025 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here. A text marked withheld matched a screen for wording that may name a private individual, such as an honorific or "in memory of". Most of what it withholds names no one; it is withheld so that what does is never shown.

Officers and directors · 2025

As listed in Part VII of the 2025 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.

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. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

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.
