Sealed proof · filed Form 990-PF

Hildebrand Foundation

EIN 76-0699250, tax year January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025. The return the foundation filed, as the IRS published it, with its arithmetic re-done exactly and sealed September 28, 2026.

This is the latest return the IRS has published for this foundation, for the tax year ended 2025-12-31. The IRS received it on August 11, 2026.

The answer

Nothing carried into the next year: the return shows the year’s amount paid within the year.

Every line we re-do agrees with the return as filed.

One field, no account. A person writes to you with the page. Your address goes on our contact list beside this foundation’s name. The page stays either way.

Keep this record for the foundation, year on year: the Filing Record, the foundation’s own order, cancellable in writing for a full refund until thirty days after the filing deadline.

What the foundation answered on the form

  • Part VI-B 4a: did the foundation invest during the year in a manner that would jeopardize its charitable purposes? No
  • Part VI-B 4b: did it make any investment in a prior year that could jeopardize its charitable purpose and that had not been removed from jeopardy? No
  • Part VI-B 3a: did it hold more than a 2% direct or indirect interest in any business enterprise? No
  • Part VI-B 3b: did it have excess business holdings? Not answered (3a is “No”, so the form does not ask 3b. Our note; not part of the seal.)
  • Part VI-B 2a: did it have undistributed income for prior years? No

Quoted as filed. These are the foundation’s own answers; this page does not test them.

Control statement · nine controls

Nine controls, read from the return.

Each control reads one part of the filed return and states a fact in a fixed vocabulary: agrees, differs, reported, not reported, not applicable, not checked. Whether any of it met a requirement is counsel’s question, not this page’s.

Recomputed each time the page is read; not part of the seal. The seal covers the body above (controls v2, kernel@2026-09-15.1).

This return: 4 agree, 4 reported, 1 not checked.

Whether an extension was granted is not visible in the e-file; the timestamp is the preparer software's, not the IRS receipt.
Year-to-year continuityThis year's opening balances against last year's closingnot checkedNeeds the prior year's return; one sealed year cannot check itself.

A line that differs is the return’s figure beside the recomputed one, as filed and as recomputed. The return may carry a reason this page cannot read: a schedule filed on paper, an election, a later amendment. It is not a finding. The page is not indexed. It is read by whoever holds the link: the person who asked for it, and anyone the foundation sends it to, its preparer first.

Year-to-year continuity needs two filed years on record. The years, below, reads this foundation’s filed returns in order and holds each against the one before.

The calendar ahead

A payout is owed on last year’s assets, whatever this year’s market does.

Recomputed each time the page is read; not part of the seal. The seal covers the body above (forward v2, kernel@2026-09-15.1). Read against October 8, 2026.

If net noncharitable-use assets fell 20% over the coming year: what is owed now, nothing from Part XII, is unchanged; the following year’s minimum investment return would be $7,699,834, $1,924,958 less than the projection.

The assumptions, the forward kernel proof, and what was refused
  • Net noncharitable-use assets for the year ending 31 December 2026 equal this return's Part IX line 5, $192495864; the thirteen-month average is not observable from a filing.
  • Net investment income for that year equals this return's, $13283492.
  • No recoveries, income tax or deduction next year; the rates stay 5% and 1.39%; a full tax year.
  • The fall shown is 20% of net noncharitable-use assets, applied to next year's average only; what is already owed was computed on this year's average and is unchanged.
  • Forward kernel proof (the projection’s own, recomputed, not sealed) 66a8aa46c10be693… · kernel@2026-09-15.1 · forward v2, controls v2
  • A projection under the stated assumptions, from the foundation's own filed figures; not a forecast, not advice.
  • The foundation's preparer computes the actual amounts from the year's monthly values; this page states what the last return implies if nothing changes.
  • What is already owed was computed on last year's average assets and does not change with this year's market.

The years · carryover chain

One return is one year. The payout is kept across six.

What a foundation leaves undistributed is due by the end of the next tax year, and what it distributes beyond the year’s amount may be applied in the five years after. So what is owed, and what may be set against it, is only readable across the filed years. The IRS publishes those years; this reads them in order, re-adds each Part XII, and holds each year’s opening lines against the year before’s closing lines.

The seal’s own scope:

  • Every figure here is the foundation's own filed return or exact arithmetic on it; nothing is estimated.
  • A 990-PF is a year-end snapshot. Prudence is judged at the time of each decision, which a filing cannot show.
  • This page neither establishes nor rules out any tax consequence, and no return is prepared or amended here.
  • A line that differs is the return's figure beside the recomputed one, as filed and as recomputed. The return may carry a reason this page cannot read: a schedule filed on paper, an election, a later amendment. It is not a finding.

We don’t prepare or file a 990-PF. We read the one the foundation filed, re-do its arithmetic exactly, and seal what it says.
