The IRS determination letter states the obligation directly: Form 990, 990-EZ or 990-N is required, and the accounting period ends December 31.
What is required
| Item | Detail | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Annual return or notice | Form 990, Form 990-EZ, or Form 990-N (the e-Postcard) | IRS determination letter, August 29, 2023 |
| Accounting period | Ends December 31 — a calendar fiscal year | IRS determination letter |
| Consequence of not filing | Exempt status is automatically revoked after three consecutive years without a required return or notice | IRS determination letter |
Which of the three forms applies in a given year depends on the organization’s gross receipts and assets for that year. Small organizations file the 990-N; larger ones file the 990-EZ or the full 990.
Where filings become public
Annual returns filed by exempt organizations are public records. The IRS publishes them, and they are searchable by EIN:
- IRS Tax Exempt Organization Search: apps.irs.gov/app/eos — search EIN 93-2840861.
- Third-party charity databases mirror the same IRS data and are often easier to browse, though they can lag the IRS by months.
The foundation does not ask you to take its word for any of this. That is the point of publishing the EIN.
A note on what a 990 will and will not show
A Form 990 shows money and governance. It does not show a resident who did not fall because somebody noticed the handrail, and it will never show the work that CareGuard is legally required to protect. A reader who wants to evaluate a nonprofit purely from its 990 is reading the only document that is guaranteed to exist, not the one that describes what happened. What is protected and why →
Questions
Will Sevadar Foundation post its 990 on this site?
When there is a filed return to post, this page is where it goes. Until then, this page states the obligation rather than implying a document exists that does not. Read more: What seva asks of an organization.
Does the foundation have audited financial statements?
This page will say so when it can say so accurately. An organization of this size and funding profile is not generally required to have an audit, and claiming one that has not happened would be exactly the kind of upgrade this site refuses to make. Our values. Read more: What seva asks of an organization.
Is Sevadar Foundation registered for charitable solicitation?
The foundation does not solicit contributions. As of August 2026, the foundation is funded entirely by its founder. Registration regimes are tied to soliciting, and this is one of the practical reasons there is no giving apparatus on this site. Support this work. Read more: A nonprofit with no donate button.
