Verifying Our Legitimacy: Your Guide to Checking Any Charity

We know that in today’s world, trust must be earned. That’s why we encourage everyone to do their own due diligence — for us and for any nonprofit.

You can verify our legitimacy in multiple ways:

  • IRS Tax Exempt Organization Search: IRS Database — search our EIN: 92-2174042.

  • State Charity Registration: Verify through Arizona’s charity registry. We are also registered in all U.S. states that require or offer charitable registration, and we voluntarily report annually where applicable.

  • Candid (formerly GuideStar) Profile: View Our Candid Rating, where we proudly received the Platinum Seal of Transparency. The Platinum Seal of Transparency on Candid is the highest level of recognition for nonprofit transparency, demonstrating a commitment to sharing comprehensive information with the public. It signifies that an organization has moved beyond basic information and has provided detailed insights into its goals, strategies, capabilities, and impact. 

  • Financial Reports: Our annual reports are public and available right on our website! Feel free to check them out.

You can also email us directly via the Contact Us form with any questions. We believe in answering questions openly and honestly, and we welcome the opportunity to connect with our supporters.
