Three missed postcards can end your nonprofit. The warning goes to the treasurer who already left.

Miss the IRS annual filing three years in a row and your 501(c)(3) is gone - automatically, by law. The IRS mails its warning to the one address it has on file - often a former officer's home. Find out where your organization stands before a donor or a bank does.

Missed years = revoked Miss the annual filing (for most small orgs, the 15-minute Form 990-N e-Postcard) three years in a row and exemption is revoked automatically under IRC §6033(j).

Address gets the warning The IRS does mail a warning - to the one address it has on file. When that's a former treasurer's home and nobody opens it, groups find out from a donor, a grant application, or a bank - months or years later.

Form 1023

Reapply + repay to get it back Reinstatement means applying all over again (Form 1023 or 1023-EZ) and paying the IRS fee again. Donations taken while revoked aren't tax-deductible.

Sound familiar?

"I just took over as treasurer. The last one handed me a binder."
"Somebody filed last year. Probably. Nobody can find proof."
"A donor asked for our EIN letter - and that's when we started wondering."

It usually isn't carelessness. It's a handoff: the treasurer who knew about the postcard graduated, moved, or rotated off - and the deadline left with them.

Rather never think about this again?

The founding monitor: we watch your EIN against every new IRS revocation posting, and track your Form 990 deadline and your state annual-report date.

Alerts at 90, 30, and 7 days - to up to three named officers, not one inbox that belongs to whoever held the job two years ago.

I'm interested in the founding monitor

First 20 organizations, hand-run by the founder while we test whether this is useful. We'll confirm details by email before anything is charged.

The details, for those who want them

How the free check works

Tell us your organization's name and EIN (or just the name and town), and we'll look it up in the IRS exempt-organizations data and the federal automatic-revocation list, then email you its current standing in plain English: in good standing, revoked, reinstated, or not found - and what it means either way.

During this test, every check is run by hand and answered by email, usually within a day. No cost, no obligation, and we don't sell or share your information.

Plain talk, up front

Checks are run by hand during this test. You'll get a careful answer by email, usually within a day - not an instant result.
Everything we check comes from public IRS files (the Exempt Organizations Business Master File and the Automatic Revocation of Exemption List), which the IRS updates monthly.
This is information from public records, offered to help volunteer officers stay on top of a deadline. It is not tax or legal advice. For advice about your organization, talk to a CPA or an attorney.
No testimonials and no user counts on this page, because we're new and there aren't any yet. That's the point of a test.
