Governance, transparency, public records, policy routes, and compliance-facing information for The Faceless Inc.
The Faceless Inc. is a West Virginia nonprofit corporation recognized by the IRS as a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) public charity. TempleVR.org is the public website for The Faceless Inc. and its community, cultural, educational, charity-oriented, and digital access programming.
This page provides basic governance and transparency information for participants, volunteers, contributors, partners, funders, software grant reviewers, and members of the public.
The Faceless Inc. exists to support community, culture, education, and charity through accessible virtual and digital spaces. We create public-benefit programs where people can gather across distance, learn together, preserve cultural knowledge, participate in creative practice, build skills across the arts, humanities, STEAM, and community life, support service projects, and form meaningful connection.
We work to reduce barriers for people who may be limited by geography, disability, cost, transportation, social isolation, lack of safe inclusive spaces, or limited access to traditional in-person cultural and educational programs.
The Faceless Inc. is governed by a Board of Directors. This page lists board-approved public governance names and official role titles only.
For roles where a public governance name has not yet been approved for publication, the table uses a non-identifying placeholder. Community handles, platform usernames, and aliases are intentionally not published or linked here.
Funders, nonprofit validators, software grant reviewers, public institutions, or official partners who require governance verification may contact leadership@templevr.org or admin@templevr.org through an official organization route.

The Faceless Inc. will file required IRS Form 990-series returns when due. If the organization qualifies for Form 990-N in a given year, the organization may file the applicable e-Postcard. If revenue, assets, or filing requirements change, the organization will use the applicable IRS filing route.
For beneficiary fundraising events, The Faceless Inc. prefers direct-to-charity donation routes or approved fundraising platforms whenever possible. External groups, creators, or collaborators may not use The Faceless name, logo, calendar, worlds, media, community channels, or nonprofit status for fundraising without written approval.
The Faceless maintains a structured report and process-question route for governance concerns, safety concerns, documentation submissions, privacy/consent concerns, media misuse concerns, collaboration issues, role boundary concerns, and other process-sensitive matters. Reports are reviewed through internal process, not public trials. The report route is not an emergency service.
