## 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.

- Nov 17, 2025: Form 990-EZ for FY2025. Not yet on the IRS file. The October 2026 IRS file shows FY2024 as the latest return.
- May 15, 2026: Extended deadline for FY2025. Not yet on the IRS file. Six month automatic extension (Form 8868). The October 2026 IRS file does not show the return. A return can take weeks to reach the file.
- Nov 16, 2026: Form 990-EZ for FY2026. Fifteenth day of the fifth month after year end. November 15 falls on a Sunday, so the deadline moves to Monday.
- Nov 15, 2027: Form 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. One return not yet on the file. Exempt status is revoked after three consecutive years without a return. The latest return on file is FY2024.

## 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: On the list. Revoked May 15, 2010. Posted June 9, 2011. The list shows no reinstatement, and the IRS list of exempt organizations still shows the organization. Both are shown as the IRS publishes them.

## No size comparison

Peer groups start at $50,000 of revenue on the latest return. Below that, most organizations file Form 990-N, which carries no financial figures, so there is no group to compare with.

## 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.

- Mission & Strategic Clarity: Unscored
- Stakeholders & Positioning: Unscored
- Programs & Program Design: Unscored
- Evidence, Data & Storytelling: Unscored
- Systems, Governance & Readiness: Unscored
