Understanding Our Public Financial Reporting
You may have noticed that our detailed financial forms (IRS Form 990) are not yet available on public databases like ProPublica. Here’s why:
We are a new organization (tax-exempt since Sept. 2025).
Our annual gross receipts are currently under $50,000.
The IRS requires smaller nonprofits like ours to file the simple Form 990-N (e-Postcard), which is not published in public databases.
We pledge to publicly share our annual budget summaries and financial highlights on this page as they become available.
Our Pledge to Donors
"We treat every donation as a sacred trust. You will always know how your money is being used to preserve this irreplaceable legacy. We are committed to earning your trust through transparency, integrity, and results."
