About our 501(c)(3) status

Our policy is to tell donors exactly where things stand — even when it's a work in progress.

The Byungura Foundation Inc is a North Carolina nonprofit corporation (incorporated December 2, 2022) that obtained Federal Employer Identification Number 92-1331880 from the Internal Revenue Service on December 13, 2022 and was recognized by the IRS as a 501(c)(3) public charity.

Like many small, all-volunteer organizations, we are working through the annual filing and registration cadence required to keep our public charity status fully active in the eyes of the IRS, the State of North Carolina, and watchdog databases. The information below is current as of May 2026 and is updated whenever our standing changes.

What's true today

Our most recent IRS filing on record is Form 990-N (the e-Postcard) for tax year 2024, filed in August 2025. Our SAM.gov federal registration is active. Our state corporate registration with the North Carolina Secretary of State remains on file.

What we are completing

The Byungura Foundation is a 501(c)(3) public charity (EIN 92-1331880). Our IRS determination is currently in reinstatement following an automatic revocation; once reinstated, tax receipts will be issued retroactively per IRS Rev. Proc. 2014-11 §4. We are also verifying North Carolina's Charitable Solicitation License requirements as part of this process. Until reinstatement is confirmed in writing, we have chosen not to promise donors that contributions made today are immediately tax-deductible.

How we describe contributions today. Per IRS Rev. Proc. 2014-11 §4, organizations whose reinstatement request is approved generally have their tax-exempt status restored retroactively to the date of revocation. Accordingly, we describe gifts to the Byungura Foundation as contributions in support of our charitable mission — and, upon reinstatement, we will issue retroactive tax receipts for gifts made during the interim period. We will notify donors directly when the determination is made.

If you need to verify before giving

We support that. You can confirm our EIN (92-1331880) and corporate registration through the IRS Tax Exempt Organization Search and the North Carolina Secretary of State's online business records. If you would like our most recent 990-N, EIN confirmation letter, or articles of incorporation, write to info@byungurafoundation.org and we will share them directly.

Our commitment

We will keep this page accurate. The moment our status is confirmed in writing, we will update this page, post the determination, and reissue gift acknowledgments where applicable. In the meantime, we treat every contribution as a vote of confidence in our work — and we are determined to earn it.

This page is not legal or tax advice. Please consult your own tax advisor regarding the deductibility of any gift.
