Annual
Illinois charitable solicitation registration
Charities that solicit in Illinois register with the state and file a report each year, unless exempt. It is due within six months after the fiscal year ends. An extension is available. For a fiscal year ending in August, that is the end of February.
Exempt status is revoked after three consecutive years without a return. The latest return on file is FY2025.
Filing history
When each return reached the IRS
From IRS records of electronically filed returns. The IRS record date is the date in the IRS’s own record of each return. It is not a legal filing date, and extensions are not public.

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.
