Mentor Illinois is a newly formed nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering students at great Illinois colleges to help talented Illinois high school students from low-income backgrounds apply to college. 

 

Because Mentor Illinois is new, we have not yet obtained tax-exempt status. Moreover, until our tax-exempt status is formally approved by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), contributions made to Mentor Illinois are not tax-deductible for federal income tax purposes.

 

We are actively pursuing fiscal sponsorship through a reputable foundation.

 

In addition, we are committed to operating in accordance with the principles and requirements set forth by the IRS for charitable organizations, including transparency, accountability, and the responsible stewardship of funds.
