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 105). 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

Serve as an intermediary for public and private funds that foster a stable and diversified local economy, to improve social, economic and employment conditions and implement sound, long-term strategy to address identified community needs.

  • Organization and Nature of Activities 3CORE, Inc. (the Corporation) is a private not-for-profit corporation organized and established in 1985 to serve the rural northern California region of Butte, Glenn, and Tehama and the cities therein. The specific purpose of the Corporation is to be an intermediary for public and private investments that foster a stable and diversified local economy, to improve social, economic, and employment conditions through collaborative partnerships and to implement a sound, long-term strategy that can address identified community needs through the private, public, and nonprofit organizations principally located within Butte, Glenn, and Tehama counties. The Corporation is a federally recognized Economic Development District (EDD), a state and federally certified Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI), and a licensed lender regulated by the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation (DFPI). Services related to economic development are funded, in part, through various federal grants and matching funds provided by local jurisdictions. The Corporations revolving loan fund program provides financing to local businesses. The funds for the program are derived from various Economic Development Administration Grants, various local grant funds, local matching funds, various equity equivalent investment loans, and reinvestment of interest and loan fees. The Corporation also provides contract services, in part to local government units, related to obtaining and administering grant projects. During the current fiscal year, the Corporation administered various grant programs at the direction of local counties and cities to aid small businesses.

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.

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.

What this page reflects

The registration facts above come from the IRS Business Master File published 13 October 2026 and read 1 November 2026, for every organization at once. Returns through tax year 2025, the newest we have parsed for this organization.
