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 does 501(c)(3) public charity status mean?
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 →

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.
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.
When did Sevadar Foundation become tax-exempt?
The exemption is effective August 10, 2023. The IRS determination letter itself is dated later, August 29, 2023, but tax-exempt status reaches back to the effective date, and deductibility runs from August 10, 2023 as well. The foundation’s fiscal year ends on December 31.
Is Sevadar Foundation a private foundation?
No. Despite the word foundation in its name, the IRS classifies Sevadar Foundation Inc. as a publicly supported charity under Section 170(b)(1)(A)(vi), not a private foundation. As of August 2026 it is funded entirely by its founder. The classification describes how an organization is expected to be supported over time, and the foundation intends to satisfy it.
Is 501(c)(3) status public information?
Yes, and you can check it without asking us for anything. Search the IRS Tax Exempt Organization Search by EIN; for this foundation that is 93-2840861. Charity databases that mirror IRS Business Master File data show the same record. If what you find differs from the name or address published here, tell us, because federal records lag address changes.
Can Sevadar Foundation lose its tax-exempt status?
Yes, if it stops filing. The determination letter requires a Form 990, 990-EZ or 990-N every year, and three consecutive years without one causes automatic revocation. That is why the filing obligation is published on the annual filings page, along with where the returns become public once filed.
