Mission

SHARE A VISION IS A 501 (C)(3) CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION THAT WAS FOUNDED IN 1987 FOR THE PURPOSE OF PROVIDING ASSISTANCE TO INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIES. CURRENTLY THE ORGANIZATION IS FOCUSED ON PROVIDING RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH AUTISM AND OTHER DISABILITIES. WE SPONSOR/SUPPORT A VARIETY OF ACTIVITIES INCLUDING VACATIONS, FAMILY OUTINGS AND SOCIAL GROUPS. ONE OF THE MAJOR COMPONENTS OF OUR PROGRAM IS TO PROVIDE EDUCATIONAL PREPARATION TO OUR CLIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES PRIOR TO THE TRIP/EXPERIENCE. WE DO THIS BY HOLDING A NUMBER OF EDUCATIONAL SESSIONS PRIOR TO THE ACTIVITY. THIS IS A VITAL COMPONENT OF THESE OUTINGS SINCE IT HELPS TO ENSURE THAT THE CLIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES GET THE MOST FROM THESE OPPORTUNITIES. IT IS ALSO A TOOL THAT WORKS TO HELP EDUCATE OTHERS ABOUT THE INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIES. WE ENVISION AN ORGANIZATION THAT CAN FACILITATE ALL OF THE ABOVE ACTIVITIES WITH ALL THE APPROPRIATE MANPOWER, FINANCING AND ORGANIZATION THAT WILL ALLOW FOR WORR

Each tax year counts once: when a return was amended, only the latest return for that period is used below (superseded returns stay listed, greyed, under Finances).

People paid by the organization

None of the 7 people listed on these returns reported compensation from the organization. They are listed below.

Officers and directors, no compensation reported

7 people listed on the returns with $0 (or no amount) in every compensation column: current people first. Hours are as filed on the latest return each person appears on.

People by year

Highest-paid independent contractors

No independent contractors reported.

Who gave

Contributor names are not public for this form type.

Public charities filing Form 990 or 990-EZ report large donors on Schedule B, but the IRS withholds their names and addresses from public copies. Private foundations (990-PF) are different: their contributors are public.

Finances

Newest first. Each filing: its name on one row, its figures on the row beneath. Greyed filings are superseded by a later return for the same period and are left out everywhere else on this page.

Funders of this organization

2 grantors reported grants to this organization, $4,356 in all, tax years 2017 to 2023. Exact: the grantor wrote this organization's EIN. Fuzzy: the grantor wrote only a name (foundations' 990-PF has no EIN field), matched to the same or a near-identical name in the same state; the name as filed is shown. From the latest return for each grantor and year, so amended returns aren't counted twice. CSV

Similar organizations

Ranked without any AI: same NTEE code first, then the same NTEE group; then revenue within 2x, 5x or 10x; then the same state; then similar name and mission text. Same state only · More (100)

Who funds organizations like this

Grantors that funded the 100 most similar organizations. Ranked by total given to them. Foundations (990-PF) and donor-advised fund sponsors only. Same matching as Funders above (by EIN, or by name for foundations).

Where the money went

Every expense line on each return, biggest first: Form 990 Part IX (with its program, management and fundraising columns), 990-EZ Part I, or 990-PF Part I. Event marks lines the organization itself describes as events. “Events” in each summary adds those lines, conferences and meetings, and the direct costs of fundraising events. Unusual is not the same as improper. Many of these patterns have ordinary explanations. Check the filing.
