The Collective Blueprint
The IRS revoked this organization's tax-exempt status on May 15, 2020, because it didn't file a required return three years in a row. Gifts made to it after that may not be tax-deductible. Ask about its status before you apply. Source: IRS automatic revocation list, checked Oct 8, 2026.
