The filing was on extension until Nov. 15.Self-dealing is a clear no-no, and avoiding it is private foundation 101. “It’s easy to avoid self-dealing,” says Marc Owens, a tax lawyer with Loeb & Loeb in Washington, D.C. who served as head of the Internal Revenue Service tax-exempt division for a decade. “That’s what makes the Trump Foundation issues so unbelievable. It’s as if no one ever bothered to learn what the rule was,” he says.(Washington Post)We already know – because Trump’s team already admitted – that the Donald J. Trump Foundation broke one law when it made an illegal campaign contribution to Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi, around the time the Florida Republican was weighing an investigation into “Trump University,” a separate scandal-plagued Trump entity. The Washington Post’s David Fahrenthold reports today that the Trump Foundation’s troubles now appear to run deeper.(MSNBC)

Hi,I looked the organization up on GuideStar.org for you. It is a good place to look up legitimacy issues and general background on organizations. It sounds like they probably gave guidestar a copy of their IRS letter of determination as proof. It takes a little while for it to show up on the official IRS list.Here is an excerpt of what it says:http://www.guidestar.org/organizations/47-2787293/from-here-forever-home-equine-rescue.aspxYear Founded:2014Ruling Year:2015Legitimacy InformationThis organization is registered with the IRS.This organization is required to file an IRS Form 990 or 990-EZ.GuideStar has no record of this organization's having been on the IRS's list of tax-exempt organizations, but the organization has provided GuideStar with documentation indicating that it is recognized as tax-exempt by the IRS.

So, to answer your question, is it a "legitimate charity"...it would seem that the answer is Yes. it is registered with the IRS as a nonprofit (Exempt Organizations Select Check) so it would seem that it is at least legit in the sense that it is incorporated and set up as a nonprofit.Charity Navigator also has a profile on them here: Charity Navigator - Advanced Search though its not super helpful as it seems as of 2014 they were reporting less than $50,000 in gross income so that means they are required to file an abbreviated set of financial disclosures. A 990-N rather than the full 990 as it were. It would seem from their website they have seen some growth in the last year so when they file their 2015 financials in a few months and post them that might give you a better look inside the organization.Not sure if that's the answer you're looking for, I can add that if they're a "good" charity then they should have a decent customer service team to handle these sorts of inquires.
