501(c)(3) Status - Approved!

Viewable at https://apps.irs.gov/app/eos/details/ - EIN #42-4758068

As of September 11th 2026, The Open Door Project is officially a 501(c)(3) federally tax-exempt organization. This means that all donations made on or after August 31st, 2026, are officially tax deductible, and all funds received by our generous donors, is no longer subject to taxation. This will allow us to utilize every dollar earned in a transparent, mission-driven way that will further our goal of lowering the suicide rate amongst teens.

Next Steps:

The next step towards full tax-exempt status is to file with the California FTB, which is being done currently.
