Legal entity & EIN
Foundation legal name, state of formation and Employer Identification Number once issued.
Transparency
A foundation that asks for trust must earn it openly.
UIAN publishes the documents real nonprofits publish — legal status, board, financial reports, donor and privacy policies. Every commitment on this page has a status. If something is not yet ready, it says so honestly.
Public documents (planned)
- EIN & IRS letter. IRS determination details once received.
- State registration. Applicable charity registry details once confirmed.
- Form 990. Annual IRS filing once a full year is reported.
- Annual report. Plain-language version every year.
- Board & staff. Names, photos, short bios.
- Donor & privacy policies. Plain-language and machine-readable.

Why this matters
Transparency is part of the actual program.
For immigrant communities, trust is in short supply. Many people have been burned by unlicensed “consultants”, fake charities and aggressive donation appeals. The first job of an immigrant-focused foundation is to look — and to be — boring in all the right ways.
That means publishing legal entity details, registrations, board members, reports, donor policies and a real way to ask questions as they become available. UIAN does not promise impact numbers it cannot prove and does not call itself things it has not yet earned.
If you see anything on this site that looks unclear, exaggerated or out of date, please tell us. We will fix it or explain it.
