Accountability & finances

Tax status

Valor Medica operates under Sevadar Foundation Inc., a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization, EIN 93-2840861. Contributions are tax-deductible to the full extent allowed by law. No goods or services are provided in exchange for a contribution unless the receipt states otherwise.

Where a gift goes

Gifts to Valor Medica fund three things, in this order of priority:

1. Direct clinical care — assessment, treatment, medications and care coordination for patients who cannot pay.
2. Recovery and outreach — counseling support, street outreach supplies, and the transport that makes appointments actually happen.
3. Vocational training — the horticulture retraining program, its tools, materials and instruction.

Documents available on request

Federal law requires exempt organizations to make certain documents publicly available, and we will send any of the following to anyone who asks, without requiring a reason:

• IRS determination letter recognizing 501(c)(3) status
• The three most recent annual information returns (IRS Form 990 series)
• IRS Form 1023, the application for exemption
• Current audited or reviewed financial statements, where prepared
• Conflict of interest and gift acceptance policies

Write to info@valormedica.org or to the address in the sidebar. We aim to respond within five business days.

What we have not published yet

We would rather name a gap than imply it is not there. As of August 7, 2026 this site does not yet publish a program-versus-administrative expense breakdown, an annual report, or third-party charity ratings. Those will be posted here as they are completed rather than described in advance.

Fundraising practices

• We do not sell, rent or trade donor information. Ever. See our donor privacy policy.
• We do not use third-party telemarketers.
• Any solicitation naming a specific program will be spent on that program, or the donor will be contacted before it is redirected.
• We will decline a gift where accepting it would compromise clinical independence.
