Compliance clock
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 Massachusetts, read from the regulator’s own guidance; exemptions vary, and the regulator’s page is the authority.
Charities that solicit in Massachusetts register with the state and file a report each year, unless exempt. It is due by the 15th day of the fifth month after the fiscal year ends. An extension is available. For a fiscal year ending in June, that is November 15.
Exempt status is revoked after three consecutive years without a return. The latest return on file is FY1997.
Filing history
When each return reached the IRS

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.
