Mission
Sahar Charitable Foundation is a charitable, tax-exempt, 501(c)(3) not for profit organization formed in 2015 dedicated to helping underprivileged children. We are committed to helping children reach their full potential by making philanthropic grants, performing charitable services, strengthening families and contributing to their overall health and vitality and educational future. Our ultimate mission is to simply "Let Kids be KidsX and alleviate the stresses that impoverished children often face giving them every opportunity to thrive. Our hope is for our contributors to watch the kids we sponsor transcend together with us which will undoubtedly encourage them to stay involved and sponsor new children going forward.

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 Greyed filings are superseded by a later return for the same period and are left out everywhere else on this page.

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.
