For Google for Nonprofits · domain verification

KeepCalm.org is the website of KEEP CALM INC.

This page exists because a Google for Nonprofits reviewer asked us to confirm, on our own domain, that this domain belongs to our organization. Here is that confirmation, and the filed documents behind it.

Every link below opens in a new tab, so you will not lose this page.

KEEP CALM INC, a California nonprofit public benefit corporation and a 501(c)(3) public charity, EIN 33-2117386, owns and operates KeepCalm.org.

KeepCalm.org is our only domain and our primary domain. We do not run a second website. Every program this organization delivers is delivered here.

The organization, in one table

Why the two names did not match automatically

Our legal name is written KEEP CALM INC with a space and a corporate suffix. Our domain is written KeepCalm.org, with no space and no suffix, because that is how a domain has to be written. They are the same three words. An automated name-to-domain comparison sees “KEEP CALM INC” against “keepcalm” and finds no exact match, which we believe is what happened here.

Nothing about the organization has changed. The name on the Articles of Incorporation, the name on the IRS determination letter, the name in the footer of every page of this website, and the name on the Google for Nonprofits application are all the same name.

The purpose clause we filed with California in 2024 describes the website you are reading it on: “Our nonprofit, KEEP CALM, is dedicated to fostering mental health awareness, providing emotional support, and promoting resilience through community-driven programs, resources, and advocacy for individuals facing life’s challenges.” That is what KeepCalm.org publishes, in 36 languages, for free.

The same documents as files, if you would rather read the originals than pictures of them. All are public records: an IRS determination letter and a Form 990-N are open to public inspection by law, and the Articles of Incorporation are a California Secretary of State public filing.

Two redactions, both noted so nothing looks hidden: the officer’s home street is blacked out on the Form 990-N, and the GoDaddy support account number is blacked out in Exhibit D. City, state, ZIP, every name, the EIN and the entity number are all untouched. If you need an unredacted copy for the review, write to contact@keepcalm.org and we will send it directly.

Three checks you can run without us

The IRS. Search Tax Exempt Organization Search for EIN 33-2117386. It returns KEEP CALM INC, in good standing, eligible to receive tax-deductible contributions.
California. Search bizfile Online by entity number 6473311. Search by number rather than by name; the name search on that site is unreliable.
This website. The footer of every page on KeepCalm.org, in all 36 languages, reads “KEEP CALM INC · 501(c)(3) Non-profit · EIN 33-2117386”. It has read that since long before this review. See also About and Donate.

One thing that may look like a mismatch, and is not

The IRS letter and the Articles both show our original registered address in Stevenson Ranch, California, because that is where the organization was formed in 2024. The address of record was updated with the IRS in our Form 990-N filing for 2025 and the organization now operates from Danville, California. The name, the EIN, and the entity number have never changed.
