The mission of Present Now is to provide children in domestic violence shelters with both essential goods and specialty items to bring them joy, comfort, and relief during a time of crisis. We DO so by delivering three hand-crafted presents per year to each child - one on their birthday, on valentine's day, and on back-to-school day. These gifts convey to these children that they are appreciated, cared for, and worthy of love. Present Now delivers our gifts to the children's mothers, so that they can give them to their own children.

501(c)(3) charity; gifts are tax-deductible.
79¢ of each $1 spent went to programs.

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.
