Form 1023 filings vault

Home > Scientology fronts: financials

As per Internal Revenue Service (IRS), an non-profit entity must make its Form 1023 (application for exemption) and all supporting documents available for public scrutiny. ^[ref]

The source material from Lermanet consists of long streams of scanned pages. These documents contain official statements from Scientology-related entities, as such they are important (along with the financial data).

I am also looking for more 1023 filings (and supporting documents) from Narconon International, Applied Scholastics International, Criminon International, World Institute of Scientology Enterprises, or any other Scientology-related entity which is not listed here. If you have these, I will appreciate if you share.
