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

TO PROVIDE TIMELY FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO THE EMPLOYEES AND FORMER EMPLOYEES OF ENTITIES IN THE THOMAS KELLER RESTAURANT GROUP AND MEMBERS OF THEIR FAMILIES WHO ARE IMPACTED BY A NATIONAL EMERGENCY, DISASTER, OR OTHER EMERGENCY HARDSHIP AND THEREBY EXPERIENCE FINANCIALLY DEVASTATING CIRCUMSTANCES BEYOND THEIR CONTROL AND MEANS, WITH RECIPIENTS BEING SELECTED BASED ON AN OBJECTIVE DETERMINATION OF NEED.

Activities or mission (Part I)

TO PROVIDE TIMELY FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO THE EMPLOYEES AND FORMER EMPLOYEES OF ENTITIES IN THE THOMAS KELLER RESTAURANT GROUP.

  • UNTIL RECENTLY, THERE WERE APPROXIMATELY 1,200 THOMAS KELLER ENTITY EMPLOYEES WORKING IN THE RESTAURANT AND HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY. FROM TIME TO TIME, QUALIFIED DISASTERS HAVE IMPACTED THE LIVES OF SOME OF THESE INDIVIDUALS, AND BOTH THE THOMAS KELLER RESTAURANT GROUP AND THE THOMAS KELLER ENTITY EMPLOYEES HAVE EXPRESSED A DESIRE TO PROVDE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO SUCH INDIVIDUALS IN THEIR TIMES OF NEED. MOST RECENTLY, THE OUTBREAK OF THE NOVEL CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19) HAS IMPACTED A SUBSTANTIAL PORTION OF THESE INDIVIDUALS.THE KELLER RESTAURANT RELIEF FUND ACCEPTS CONTRIBUTIONS AND PROVIDES FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO AFFECTED THOMAS KELLER ENTITY EMPLOYEES, AND, WHERE APPROPRIATE, THEIR FAMILIES. THE FUND IS MANAGED BY A BOARD OF DIRECTORS COMPRISED OF THOMAS KELLER ENTITY EMPLOYEES, NO MORE THAN A MINORITY OF WHOM ARE SUBSTANTIAL INFLUENCERS OF THE THOMAS KELLER RESTAURANT GROUP. THE BOARD SELECTS THE RECIPIENTS OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE GRANT-MAKING POLICY ADOPTED BY THE BOARD. ACCORDINGLY, THE THOMAS KELLER RESTAURANT GROUP'S RANK AND FILE EMPLOYEE REPRESENTATIVES HAVE MAJORITY CONTROL OVER ALL DECISION MAKING WITH RESPECT TO QUALIFICATION FOR AND AWARD OF GRANTS.THE BENEFICIARIES ARE CHOSEN BY THE BOARD BASED ON AN OBJECTIVE DETERMINATION OF NEED. GRANTS ARE MADE TO REIMBURSE OR PAY REASONABLE AND NECESSARY PERSONAL, FAMILY OR LIVING EXPENSES INCURRED BY EMPLOYEES, FORMER EMPLOYEES OR THEIR FAMILIES AS A RESULT OF A QUALIFIED DISASTER OR OTHER EMERGENCY HARDSHIP, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, HEALTHCARE, EDUCATION, SHELTER, MEALS AND CHILDCARE, PROVIDED THAT UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES ARE GRANTS PROVIDED FOR EXPENSES THAT COULD OTHERWISE BE PAID FOR BY INSURANCE OR OTHER REIMBURSEMENTS.

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.

Grants received

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.

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 2024, the newest we have parsed for this organization.
