So why am I ecstatic that I had to complete and file a Form 990 for the Ann Campana Judge Foundation? It was a labor of love, that's why!
For the first time in its 6-year history, the ACJF took in enough money in 2007 to warrant filing a report (Form 990-EZ and Schedule A) with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) . So it was with utter joy that I undertook the task of completing the forms and sending them off in plenty of time to meet the 15 May 2008 filing deadline.
As a publicly-supported non-profit charitable organization under section 501(c)(3) of the tax code, our returns are to be available to all who wish to inspect them, so...Voila!

I am in the process of getting the ACJF transferred to Oregon from New Mexico.
We also have a Request For Proposals outstanding with a due date of 26 May 2008. You won't find it on the WWW site, because it is by invitation only. We targeted about 10 organizations who are USA-based and work in Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua, and Panama, and hope to award grants of up to $15,000 to about 5.
The ACJF no longer awards funding to non-USA organizations because of Patriot Act reporting requirements, which are too onerous for us.
Thanks to all our supporters! If you wish to contribute, go to the WWW site and click on "Contributions". Can't wait to file again next year!
