Mission and programs · 2023

Primary exempt purpose

Common Connections, a local 501(c)3 non-profit organization was founded by community participants of the final Ford FamilyFoundation Leadership Program cohort in 2016. CommonConnections facilitates development of projects and programs that serve our community in unique ways. Our mission is to cultivate a stronger rural community by facilitating skill-building, education, mentorship and volunteer opportunities that achieve community-cooperative solutions.

  • Collaborated with Grantee and subgrantee of Business Oregon CDBG grant program management to repair eight single family homes in Josephine County, five of which were completed in 2022 and the remaining three were finished in 2023. Common Connections acted as Program Mngr with contract for services to facilitate payments to Contractors specifically for Housing Repair projects designated for Housing Repair & Rehabilitation Program for Josephine County funded by Community Development Block Grant from Business Oregon to Josephine County (Grantee) and AllCare Community Foundation/ MidRogue Foundation (SubGrantee). Common Connections acted as pass through for each project, each project resulting in a lump sum lien filed against each participating property, benefitting AllCare Community Foundation/Mid Rogue Foundation. Gross Receipts include offsetting expenses of total passed-through payments to Independent Licensed Contractors and a program administration cost. Administration cost is directly related to Common Connections mission and vision for facilitating programs that uniquely serve the community of Josephine County and is considered a related business activity.

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.

As filed, from the IRS e-Postcard file of 26 October 2026. The IRS publishes only each organization's most recent postcard, so earlier years are not shown. A 990-N carries no financial detail. The postcard also gives the principal officer's address, which is not shown here.

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

  • 2022 REFURBISH A TRAILER THAT WAS DONATED TO COMMON CONNECTIONS TO BE USED ON PROJECT SITES THAT WILL BE WEATHERIZING HOMES.

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.
