What is a Form 990 and how do I find one for a not-for-profit organization?
A – Form 990 in an annual report required by tax law to be filed by tax-exempt organizations with more than $100,000 in annual receipts or total assets of at least $250,000 (Form 990-EZ must be filed by smaller organizations, with at least $25,000 in annual receipts and total assets of less than $250,000.) The forms are public documents that reveal income, expenses, assets and liabilities; expenditures by program category; program accomplishments; names of officers, directors and key employees; compensation paid to officers, directors and key employees.
