Support
Every contribution given during our founding year helps shape what 2026 Foundation will become. Thank you for being part of the beginning.
How to GiveWhere We Stand
2026 Foundation, Inc. is officially registered as a Colorado nonprofit corporation (State ID 20261473502) and has been issued a federal Employer Identification Number by the IRS (EIN 42-2055730). The foundation is real, the structure is in place, and we are open to receiving contributions from founding supporters.
Our final step is securing 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status from the IRS — the determination that allows donations to be tax-deductible. Our application is in motion, and the IRS typically takes a few months to issue the determination letter. We will update this page the day it arrives.
Until then, we welcome contributions through Zelle. Once 501(c)(3) status is granted, deductibility is generally retroactive to our incorporation date — meaning gifts made now may become tax-deductible once approval comes through. Please consult your tax advisor for guidance on your specific situation.

Legal status and tax deductibility
2026 Foundation, Inc. is a Colorado nonprofit corporation (State ID 20261473502) with federal EIN 42-2055730. Our application for 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status is currently pending IRS determination.
Donations made now are not yet formally tax-deductible. However, if 501(c)(3) status is approved by the IRS within 27 months of our incorporation date, deductibility will generally be retroactive to that date — meaning contributions made today may become deductible upon approval. We will issue acknowledgment letters once 501(c)(3) status is granted.
Please consult your tax advisor regarding the deductibility of any contribution.
