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.
