This organization is considered closed as of 2014. Impala made this determination because the organization is listed as revoked by the IRS, has not filed Form 990s in 5+ years, and no longer appears in the EO Business Master File or Pub78 List.

Note: The closure year reflects the IRS revocation effective date. Revocation typically follows three years of non-filing, so the organization may have ceased operations earlier.
