Overview

Mission

Finn Dawg's Cards & Collectibles for a Cause Inc. is organized exclusively for charitable purposes within the meaning of Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The organization solicits and accepts donations of sports cards, collectibles, vehicles, and cash, and uses the proceeds and related fundraising activity to benefit children college-aged and younger, first responders, and veterans of the United States Armed Forces, including through grants and distributions to other qualifying 501(c)(3) organizations that serve these populations.

What it reported doing in 2025

Finn Dawg's Cards & Collectibles for a Cause Inc. was incorporated as a New York not-for-profit corporation on August 1, 2025, and received recognition of exemption under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. During the period covered by this return, the organization focused on formation activities and capacity building, including establishing governance, securing tax-exempt status, opening financial accounts, building its donor and volunteer base, and soliciting and receiving in-kind donations of sports cards, collectibles, and other property, along with cash contributions, to fund its charitable programs. No grants or charitable distributions were made during this period. Contributions and donated assets received in 2025 are being held to support the organization's program activities, which commenced in 2026 through three designated funds: a General Fund supporting the broad charitable mission, The HAWKE Fund supporting youth baseball programs, and the After the 214 Fund supporting veterans who have separated from service.
