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 2450). 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

Birds for Sofia supports children diagnosed with rare, inheritable diseases from Eastern Europe. We help families with children with rare diseases access medical care, genetic testing, rehabilitation, and equipment not covered by insurance. Since the war in Ukraine, we helped to re-establish medical care and access to housing during medical treatment for a number of Ukrainian families in the USA, who were confirmed through "Uniting for Ukraine" parolees.

  • Medical Support Grants - This Program focuses on delivering essential medical equipment, life-saving medical supplies and medications, as well as covers critical medical treatments and rehabilitation services for children with rare diseases who live in Ukraine.

    Expenses $520,521 · Grants $412,557

  • Lviv Hospital Rehabilitation Wing - There is currently no pediatric neuromuscular rehabiliation center in Ukraine. We are working to open the first specialized rehab department in Ukraine.

    Expenses $135,000 · Grants $135,000

  • Enteral Nutrition Initiative - Our Enteral Nutrition Initiative began as a lifesaving effort to support children in Ukraine with rare diseases who rely ongastrostomy tubes for feeding. Since its launch in February 2024, this emergency response has grown into a broader campaign. Due to the overwhelming demand, we are now working to unite multiple organizations around the world in finding sustainable solutions for delivering critical medical nutrition to Ukraine including both enteral feeding formulas and other specialized dietary products.

    Expenses $99,425 · Grants $99,382

  • SMA Program - Our Spinal Muscular Atrophy Program targets cases where treatment cannot be covered by insurance or governmental support, and the need for urgent medical equipment, treatment or crucial rehabilitation courses is demonstrated. In 2025, we expanded the programs scope to include surgical cases requiring urgent intervention. These may involve spinal stabilization, orthopedic corrections, neurological, or gastrointestinal surgeries that are time-sensitive and can significantly enhance mobility, reduce pain, or prevent life-threatening complications that can arise as the disease progresses.

    Expenses $86,169 · Grants $86,169

  • Genetic Testing - This Program is designed to give access to full cycle service for symptomatic undiagnosed children from Eastern Europe, where BfS covers a consultation with a geneticist, prescribed genetic tests, their follow-up interpretation, and a treatment roadmap.

    Expenses $67,257 · Grants $67,257

  • Unbiased Inheritable Disease - We deliver aid to children with ultra-rare, lessknowndiseases by covering high-cost treatments not funded by insurance. We prioritize urgent cases where FDA-approved effective therapy exists and can make a life-changing impact.

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

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.
