Mission

The Samaya Fund is focused on funding research and innovation at the intersection of neurology and immunology. We started fundraising in November 2024 (the one-year anniversary of my daughter's death whose memory we started the fund for) while we were awaiting 501c3 exempt status, which we finally received in mid April. We apologize for the month delay in our tax filing as we had been awaiting tax-exempt status.

Each tax year counts once: when a return was amended, only the latest return for that period is used below (superseded returns stay listed, greyed, under Finances).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 1 person listed on these returns reported compensation from the organization. They are listed below.

Officers and directors, no compensation reported

1 person 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.

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 Greyed filings are superseded by a later return for the same period and are left out everywhere else on this page.
