IRS regulations require that a private foundation provide copies of its three most recent annual information returns, it's exemption application and it's determination letter from the IRS, in response to an in-person or written request. Private foundations are not required to provide copies of these documents if they are "widely available". The IRS regulations provide that a private foundation can meet this requirement by posting the documents on the Web in a form that is easy to access, download, view and print. We've made these documents available here in PDF format:

990-PF for 2009 (PDF)
IRS Form 1023 (tax exemption application) (PDF)
IRS determination letter (PDF)

The Acrobat reader needed to read the above documents is available for no charge from Adobe
