Donations to HATS STEDTRAIN


HATS is a 501(c)3 charitable non-profit corporation, so donations may be tax deductible.

As a small organization with less than $50k in annual revenue, HATS files an annual IRS form 990N. While our 990N reports are available upon request as required by law

HATS is listed on Charity Navigator, the nation's largest and most-used charity evaluator, but has not been assigned an Encompass Rating because the organization does not file a full IRS form 990s.
