## What is due, and when

Computed from the fiscal year end and the return type. Federal dates are fixed by law. The state line is the general charitable solicitation rule of Michigan, read from the regulator’s own guidance; exemptions vary, and the regulator’s page is the authority.

- Aug 17, 2026: Extended deadline for FY2025. Not yet on the IRS file. Six month automatic extension (Form 8868). August 15 falls on a Saturday, so the deadline moves to Monday. The October 2026 IRS file does not show the return. A return can take weeks to reach the file.
- Feb 16, 2027: Form 990 or 990-EZ for FY2026. Fifteenth day of the fifth month after year end. February 15 is a legal holiday (Washington's Birthday), so the deadline moves to the next business day.
- Feb 15, 2028: Form 990 or 990-EZ for FY2027. Fifteenth day of the fifth month after year end.
- Annual: Michigan charitable solicitation registration. Charities that solicit in Michigan register with the state and renew each year, unless exempt. The registration expires seven months after the fiscal year ends, and the renewal is due at least 30 days before that. Regulator: Charitable Trust Section, Michigan Department of Attorney General (https://www.michigan.gov/consumerprotection/charities).
- Watch: Automatic revocation rule. The IRS record looks out of date. Exempt status is revoked after three consecutive years without a return. The file shows no return for three or more years while still listing the organization as exempt, so nothing is read into it.

## When each return reached the IRS

IRS records of electronically filed returns show no return of this organization that can be dated. Form 990-N is not among them.

## What the IRS lists say

Three IRS lists, read each month. This is a display of what they show, not a determination of status.

- Exempt status: Listed as exempt. The IRS list of exempt organizations. As of October 13, 2026.
- Deductible donations: Not listed. The organization is covered by a group exemption. Such organizations are not listed one by one. As of October 13, 2026.
- Automatic revocation: Not on the list. The IRS list of organizations whose exemption was revoked for not filing three years in a row. As of October 13, 2026.

## No size comparison

No return with figures is on the IRS file, so there is nothing to compare.

## What public data cannot tell you

A 990 shows money in and money out. It cannot show whether programs, outcomes, funding and compliance live in one place, or how long a funder report takes to produce. The five pillars below are scored only by the organization itself.

- Stakeholders & Positioning: Unscored
- Programs & Program Design: Unscored
