Use the IRS Tax Exempt Organization Search and enter the charity’s EIN, then compare the legal name, location, eligibility, and available filings with the organization’s own disclosures.
What this means in practice
The IRS tool separates databases for deductible organizations, determination letters, returns, e-Postcards, and automatic revocations; check the result that answers your question.
A name-only search can miss an organization or return similar names, so use the numeric identifier when it is available.
For Famidi, search 82-4855071 and compare the result with the Transparency Center and your official donation receipt.
How Famidi approaches donor trust
Famidi publishes its legal identity, EIN, program explanations, policies, filing links, and evidence boundaries so a donor can verify the organization without relying on promotional language alone.
This is general educational information. Tax treatment and legal obligations can change, and a donor should use current IRS guidance or a qualified adviser for a decision about personal circumstances.
Check the underlying information.
