We ask families to trust us with the worst moment of their lives, and donors to trust us with their money. Both deserve to see the paperwork.
This page exists because the people we serve have been promised things before by organizations with far more resources than us, and watched those promises evaporate. We are not asking anyone to take our word for anything. Everything we can publish is here.
People confuse us with other organizations that have similar names, and money intended for our families has ended up somewhere else because of it. So, plainly: Stand in the Gap Foundation is not affiliated with, related to, or a chapter of any other organization using a similar name — including SITG Ministries or any group using "Stand in the Gap" in its title.
We share no leadership, no board, no bank account, and no donations with any of them. If you intended to support this Foundation, check the EIN above against whatever you are donating to, and check the address. If you gave to the wrong organization by mistake, email us and we will help you sort it out.

Do not take our word for our status. Search the IRS Tax Exempt Organization Search by EIN — enter 93-1417599 — and read it off the government’s own record.

What the money actually did, counted in families served rather than dollars raised.
Conflict of interest, whistleblower, and document retention policies.
Three things tell you most of what you need to know about a nonprofit: what the IRS says it is, the return it files each year, and the statements behind that return. All of it is listed below by year, posted or not, and served from this site rather than summarized.

Read together, these two letters are the whole story: the 2023 letter granted the exemption and classified the Foundation as a private foundation. The 2026 letter corrects that classification to a public charity under IRC Sections 509(a)(1) and 170(b)(1)(A)(vi). Tax-exempt status under 501(c)(3) was never in question and did not change.

Nothing here is a summary we wrote. Each document is posted as filed or as received — schedules included, nothing excerpted. You can check any of it against the IRS record: search Tax Exempt Organization Search by EIN 93-1417599. If you want a document before it appears here, ask us for it.
Most organizations will not tell you how they pay their lawyers. We would rather you know exactly, because the structure is the reason we can promise families they will never see a bill.
Under Project Seal, panel counsel are paid a flat seven hundred and fifty dollars per petition filed, regardless of hours. No hourly billing means no overruns and no surprises on either side.
Invoices are logged by the date we receive them and paid in that order as funding allows. No case jumps the line, and no attorney is left guessing where they sit in the queue.
No application fee, no retainer, no bill at the end regardless of outcome. Families are never charged for representation and never owe the Foundation money.
A program-versus-overhead breakdown belongs here, and we are not going to put up a number before the audited figures support it. It will be published alongside the Form 990 rather than in advance of it. If you want to ask about it in the meantime, email us and we will answer honestly about where we currently stand.
The Foundation is run by a small executive team, most of whom came to this work through their own families.
Our board provides oversight, accountability, and approval of major commitments.
Ask. We would rather answer an uncomfortable question directly than have you wonder about it.
