The Mavericks Community Foundation is legally required to ensure that all organizations participating in Coastside Gives are in compliance and good standing with the Internal Revenue Service, the California Department of Justice, and the California Franchise Tax Board. Below are links that help you check your status with each and, if necessary, direct you how to resolve any issues.

It's important to keep an eye on your organization's legal status with these various government entities. You can check your organization's status online using each entity's databases.

When searching for your organization on these government databases, depending on the site, you will need to use your organization’s legal name (the name you put on your tax documents), your Tax ID/Employment Identification Number (EIN) assigned to you by the IRS, or your organization's Entity ID assigned to you by the California Secretary of State.
