Other organizations at this address

More than 50 organizations in the IRS Business Master File share this street address, so they are not listed here. matched by us

This address is a suite or unit (STE 1). 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 · 2023

Mission

Bringing people and ideas together across divides, to create a care-centered world. Care Lab is women-founded and run by a team with deep international, congressional, research, and advocacy experience. After decades of work building bridges between the United States, Cuba, and other Latin American countries, Care Lab is turning knowledge gained about trust, listening, and the curation of transformative experiences to bear on the urgent challenges facing the United States. Using lessons learned from scientific research, case studies, and decades of bridge-building work, Care Lab brings people together for bipartisan experiences that build common ground and support the caring and collaborative approach we need to ensure the well-being of our families, our country, and the planet.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Care Lab activity is an unprecedented effort to build a resilient, caring, and bipartisan core of leaders on Capitol Hill and beyond, creating a new model for US Congressional field tours, designing unconventional professional development opportunities for Congressional staff, and using the science of care to create safe spaces for difficult conversations and deep encounters with constituents.

  • Produced 'Three Dinners' programs followed by extensive assessments, ran two sessions of 'CareLab 201', launched alumni network of 'Three Dinners' alums, and designed models for an in-state network.

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.
