Strategic events - during fiscal year 2024, TESOL hosted its TESOL International Convention Expo, bringing together more than 3300 ELT professionals from across the globe to exchange their knowledge, best practices, and research in Tampa, FL. The in-person convention featured three keynotes, over 600 educational sessions, and several special events. Proposals are peer-reviewed. Following the in-person convention, an additional 2000 ELT professionals joined the online convention. This means, over 5,000 TESOLers came together last March and April to share ELT experiences. TESOL also hosted an additional virtual conference in October 2024 : ELevate. This 2-day worldwide event strengthened the field and elevated the knowledge and expertise of ELT professionals in the primary and secondary school context. As part of its commitment to DEIA, TESOL successfully included a significant number of underrepresented teachers and other TESOL professionals from around the world in this event.

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

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 11 November 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.
