“The Why”

A New York not-for-profit corporation recognized by the IRS as a 501(c)(3) public charity.

About EQUAL RENTAL CHARITY INC

The organization’s stated exempt purpose, from its Form 1023-EZ, is:

To provide free service of equal opportunity housing for Minorities, Women, and Children who were otherwise financially incapable of obtaining such services, qualified for exemption under section 501(c)(3) as a charitable organization.

GuideStar / Candid also publishes a short purpose line for this EIN: “PROVIDE LOW RENT FOR WOMEN AND MINORITIES.” That line does not mean the organization owns or operates apartment buildings. Public IRS records classify it as NTEE W99 (Public, Society Benefit — not elsewhere classified), not as a housing landlord.

Legal name, address, officer, and tax status match the Tax Year 2024 Form 990-N and the New York Department of State corporation record.
