What claiming does How does your 990 look to donors? Take the 10-Question Audit

Matters on Tomorrow provides venture philanthropy - (1) non-profits are an essential part of our world. When they are done well, they are a shining examples of what passionate and sincere social entrepreneurs can accomplish - but compared to startups in the private sector, most non-profits face significant hurdles to scaling via developing new programs, finding new funding, and dealing with the administrative rigmarole needed to maintain their 501(c)(3) status and the public's good faith and trust. (2) Matters on Tomorrow helps non-profits side-step the painful start-up process and allows visionaries to spend more time impacting the world. A lot of nonprofits have remarkable ideas, but they have no clue how or where to begin, especially on the administrative level. That's where we come in - we know what we DO best (record keeping, government filings, insurance review, and a ton more) - sound boring? - well, IT is to most people but for some reason, we're really good at IT.

501(c)(3) charity; gifts are tax-deductible.
90¢ of each $1 spent went to programs.
Run by 1,468 volunteers.

Names, privacy, and removal requests More

The names, titles, and compensation shown on this page are reproduced from IRS Form 990 filings, which are public records.

Philanthropy.org does not alter the content of those filings. All information appears exactly as reported by the filing organization for the tax year shown.

We publish only information contained in the public IRS filing — and less than the filing contains. Our profile pages do not display street addresses, telephone numbers, personal email addresses, or other personal contact information, even where the filing includes them.

Many people share the same name. A name shown on this page reflects only what one organization reported in one IRS filing for one tax year. It should not be interpreted as identifying any other individual with the same or a similar name.

If you are no longer affiliated with the organization, your name will generally stop appearing in future IRS filings once the organization no longer reports you. Pages for tax years in which you were reported remain published because those filings remain part of the public record.

Philanthropy.org does not alter or remove IRS filing records. Removing a page from this website would not remove the underlying IRS filing, which remains publicly available from the IRS and other publishers of the same information.

If you believe the IRS filing itself is inaccurate, corrections must be made by the filing organization or the IRS directly.
