Notice to Our Supporters:
Regarding Our Charity Navigator Listing
We want to make our supporters aware that Charity Navigator does not currently display the most recent financial information for StoveTeam International.
Although we have filed our IRS Form 990s every year as required, the IRS has experienced ongoing technical issues that prevent these filings from appearing in its public database. Because Charity Navigator pulls its data directly from the IRS system, our page there does not yet reflect our up-to-date financials.
The IRS Taxpayer Advocate Service has confirmed that these posting delays are outside of our control and that organizations cannot request manual uploads. However, our most recent and complete IRS filings are available on the following public databases:
We remain fully committed to transparency and accountability. If you have any questions or would like to receive a copy of our latest Form 990 directly, please contact us at info@stoveteam.org.
Thank you for your continued trust and support.
