990 Preparation For Alumni Associations

The IRS Requires most charitable organizations to file a Form 990, Return of Organization Exempt From Income Tax. At the same time, some consider the requirement a burden compliance requirement. It can also be used as a marketing tool to tell the story of the organization. Board Members should see the 990 as a tool to educate donors and market their organizations and programs.


Sophisticated and likely wealthy donors perform due diligence before time or resources to a not-for-profit, whether as a service provider, a grantor, or a board member. With the competition for donors being stiff, organizations should put their best foot forward, ensuring that donors who do look at their 990 can see the organization’s quantitative and qualitative success. In completing your 990, we provide that your organization’s story is told. For pricing info and more information.
