The Register Read Whole: 262 Organizations

The federal register, November 2026

Lead: The IRS register carries 262 organizations under a Mishawaka mailing address. Of these, 221 are 501(c)(3) charities; the remainder are the city's business league and trade associations (5 under (c)(6)), its social clubs (9 under (c)(7)), its fraternal societies (8 under (c)(8)), its labor and agricultural organizations (6 under (c)(5)), its veterans' posts (5 under (c)(19)), and single entries under (c)(4), (c)(9), (c)(12), (c)(13), and (c)(14). One hundred four of the 262 report assets on a filed return; the other 158 report none — most of them congregations riding group rulings, chapters riding parent exemptions, and small corporations filing the postcard return. The register's artifacts are printed with the count, because they are part of what the count means: the Catholic parishes and schools ride the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops' group ruling, whose March 1946 date is the group's, never a founding; and Habitat for Humanity's Mishawaka row files under its parent's name and number, as the habitat article below explains.

The reported figures, at each filer's most recent return and never blended into a single year, total $10,025,519,609 in assets and $4,575,202,272 in revenue — and the totals are a health-care figure wearing a city's name. Four corporations hold $9,227,935,978 of the assets and $4,408,845,655 of the revenue: Franciscan Alliance, Inc. and the three Saint Joseph Regional Medical Center corporations, two health systems whose home offices stand in Mishawaka while their hospital campuses stand in South Bend, Mishawaka, and Plymouth. Every other organization in the register — all 258 of them — together reports $797,583,631 in assets and $166,356,617 in revenue. Beneath the health systems, the register's grantmaking layer counts 20 private foundations holding $129,446,336 in reported assets: the subject of the foundation articles that follow. The sector's shape, stated plainly, is a corporate-seat city: Mishawaka's nonprofit balance sheet is written by institutions the valley uses, and its own charitable capital — the family foundations, the school foundations, the housing corporations — is an order of magnitude smaller and entirely local.
