ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer's organization record for San Francisco Zen Center (EIN 94-3143976), which states that the center is not required to submit tax filings because the Internal Revenue Service designates it a church, and accordingly carries no Form 990 financial data. Its strength is that it directly names the applicable disclosure regime. Its limit is that, by the same church exemption, it cannot supply a revenue, expense or asset figure.
