About INTRINSIC FOUNDATION
Intrinsic Foundation (commonly branded IF Cares) is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Addison, Texas that operates child-focused feeding and enrichment programs with an emphasis on healthy eating, exercise, and education. The organization runs programs such as Kids Eat Free Summer and partners with community groups to provide nutritious meals and essentials to children in low-income communities. The organization’s EIN (20-1013921) is reflected in public IRS filings and nonprofit data services; recent Form 990/990-PF filings (fiscal years 2023–2024) show operating revenues in the low millions and total assets in the mid-five-hundred-thousand-dollar range. Those filings also indicate operating pressures in the most recent audited period (expenses slightly exceeding revenue and an audit note raising substantial doubt about near-term financial stability), while program activity and community partnerships have continued through the period covered by the filings.
