Stewardship Matters

Form 1023 pending IRS determination

Just Like Us is a Colorado nonprofit corporation. On September 28, 2026, JLU submitted Form 1023 to the Internal Revenue Service requesting recognition of exemption under Section 501(c)(3) and classification as a publicly supported charity. The application is pending IRS determination.

Prospective donors should consult their own tax adviser regarding the tax treatment of any contribution made while JLU's application is pending. JLU will update this page promptly when the IRS issues its determination.
