Everything on this page comes from one document: the IRS determination letter issued to Sevadar Foundation Inc. on August 29, 2023.
The letter, line by line
| Field on the letter | What it says | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Organization | Sevadar Foundation Inc. | The legal name the exemption is issued under. This is the name to use when verifying us against IRS records. |
| Employer ID number | 93-2840861 | The EIN. It is how the IRS, a donor’s tax preparer and any charity database identify this organization. |
| Effective date of exemption | August 10, 2023 | Tax-exempt status reaches back to this date, which is earlier than the date of the letter. |
| Public charity status | Section 170(b)(1)(A)(vi) | A publicly supported charity, not a private foundation. The distinction affects the deduction limits that apply to a donor. |
| Contribution deductibility | Yes | Donors can deduct contributions under IRC Section 170, and the organization is qualified to receive deductible bequests, devises, transfers or gifts under Sections 2055, 2106 and 2522. |
| Form 990/990-EZ/990-N required | Yes | An annual information return or electronic notice is required. Three consecutive years without one causes automatic revocation. |
| Accounting period ending | December 31 | The fiscal year ends on December 31, so the annual return covers a calendar year. |
Two dates, and they are not the same. The letter is dated August 29, 2023. The exemption is effective August 10, 2023. Deductibility runs from the effective date.
What the classification actually means
Section 170(b)(1)(A)(vi) describes an organization that is publicly supported — the category that includes most ordinary charities, as distinct from a private foundation funded by a single source. The classification matters to a donor because deduction limits differ between the two, and it matters to the organization because public charities face lighter excise-tax and distribution rules than private foundations do.
It is worth stating the tension plainly, since this site states it elsewhere too: As of August 2026, the foundation is funded entirely by its founder. A publicly supported classification describes how an organization is expected to be supported over time, and the foundation intends to satisfy it. How we are funded →
How to verify this yourself
- Search the IRS Tax Exempt Organization Search at apps.irs.gov/app/eos by EIN 93-2840861.
- Cross-check the same EIN in any charity database that mirrors IRS Business Master File data.
- If a record you find shows a different name or a different address from the ones published here, tell us. Federal records lag address changes, and we would rather hear about a mismatch than have you assume it away.
Questions
Is a donation to Sevadar Foundation tax deductible?
Yes, under IRC Section 170, to the extent allowed by law. The determination letter says so directly. What you can actually deduct depends on your own situation, and the foundation does not give tax advice. Questions about giving. Read more: A nonprofit with no donate button.
Where is the Form 990?
The annual filing obligation and where filings become public are covered on the annual filings page. Read more: One foundation, three programs.
Why does the site publish the EIN so prominently?
Because it is the only identifier that lets a stranger check the claim without asking us for anything. A nonprofit that makes verification easy is making a small, real commitment. Read more: What seva asks of an organization.
