  • We the People Competitions Over two in-person We the People qualifying competitions, an in-person Middle & High School We the People State Finals, support for teams qualifying for the We the People National Finals, and school- based We the People competitions, VA Civics supported over 600 competitive We the People students in the 2023 fiscal year. 65 volunteers from private, public, and nonprofit sectors donated their time as judges, timers, and facilitators. A significant portion of staff time to run these events, logistics of the events themselves ($15,583.50), and the cost for awards ($3,352.18) were supported by general operating dollars from individual donors.

    Expenses $18,936

  • We the People Teacher Training, 2022-2023 Cohort VA Civics provided a four-day virtual Summer Institute, two virtual one-day follow-up trainings, and two in-person one-day follow-up training to a cohort of We the People teachers for the 2022-2023 school year. The cohort consisted of 13 teachers and three mentor teachers from schools around Virginia who are committed to using the We the People curriculum in their classroom. For the 22-23 cohort, scholar and mentor expenses for the year of training equal to $4,200, textbooks totaling $9,422.56, in-person event logistics totaling $21,622.21, teacher travel reimbursements totaling $1,925.32, and staff time and administration for running each event were supported by a $20,000 gift from a charitable foundation.

  • James Madison Legacy Project Expansion Teacher Training Over the 2022-23 academic year (JMLPE Year 1), VA Civics supported the training of four teachers who attended professional development workshops in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Two teachers received a $1,000 teacher consultancy stipend and two received a $1,500 stipend paid by a subgrant from the Center for Civic Education. This subgrant also provided $2,200 for six months of support for a We the People State Coordinator. Teachers from the 2022-23 and 2023-24 training cohorts have grown participation in the We the People program to 82 schools and over 8,000 students in Virginia. For the 2023-2024 academic year (JMLPE Year 2), VA Civics supported the training of 16 middle and high school teachers with four mentor teachers, through a five-day Summer Institute at James Madison's Montpelier.

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.

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.
