This page exists so corporate donors, charity navigators, and vetting teams can confirm GiftLift's legitimacy. Everything below is factual. Where a status has not yet been finalized, we say so plainly.
Application pending with the IRS. Federal tax-exempt determination under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code has not yet been issued.
Until that determination is received, GiftLift operates as a nonprofit corporation in good standing under state law but is not a federally tax-exempt organization. Contributions made during this period are not tax-deductible as charitable contributions for federal income tax purposes.
The GiftLift advisory board is being assembled. Seats listed below are open and will be filled by hand with named directors in advance of our first IRS reporting cycle.
Mission, programs, and partner relationships.
Shelters, case managers, reentry programs.
Audit oversight, controls, and reporting.
Donor relations and gift-card intake.
Once federal tax-exempt determination is received, GiftLift will publish annual program and financial reporting on this page, including aggregate distributions, partner activity, and an independent review where applicable. Until then, material developments — partnership additions, governance changes, and determination milestones — will be posted here as they occur.
This is the chain every GiftLift donation follows from your desk to a person in need.
Programs like GiftLift Outreach, GiftLift Veterans Forward, and GiftLift Second Chance show what that chain looks like in practice — see the program pages for the street-outreach, veterans, and reentry workflows.
If a corporate donor, retailer, or vetting partner needs additional documentation — articles of incorporation, Form 1023 application package, mission statement — visit our legal documents page or email us directly.
