When a Neighbor Falls Behind in the Magic Valley, The Fifth Stands Up.
Welcome to the official civic dispatch of Brotherhood Of The 5th. Formed in Twin Falls on April 13, 2015 and recognized by the IRS as a 501(c)(3) public charity in November 2016, we are a working-class volunteer association dedicated to a single statutory purpose: “To help the communities poor and needy.”
With $0 paid to executives or fundraisers, local families pool their strength so emergency relief reaches Elizabeth Boulevard, the canyon rim neighborhoods, and rural Twin Falls County without bureaucratic delay.
No Slick Consultants. No Distant Bureaucracy. Just Neighbors Standing Up for Neighbors.
BROTHERHOOD OF THE 5TH (also recorded in federal filings as Brotherhood Of The 5th and Brotherhood of the Fifth) was organized on April 13, 2015 under Idaho Secretary of State Filing #22590 at 1527 Elizabeth Blvd., Twin Falls, ID 83301. In November 2016, the Internal Revenue Service granted full federal tax exemption under IRC Section 501(c)(3) (EIN: 47-3776689) as a multipurpose human services public charity (NTEE Classification P20).
Why does an unincorporated fraternal nonprofit association matter in a community like Twin Falls? Because between the residential blocks off Elizabeth Boulevard and the working farms north of the Snake River Canyon, hardworking families occasionally hit sudden, unforgiving walls—a medical crisis, winter utility spike, or lost paycheck. Large institutional agencies often require weeks of multi-page intake forms. Our volunteer brotherhood responds quietly, directly, and immediately.
“The Brotherhood of the Fifth is newly organized. To help the communities poor and needy.”— VERIFIED IRS FORM 990-EZ PART III PRIMARY EXEMPT PURPOSE DECLARATION (EIN 47-3776689)
Operating on an annual grass-roots budget of approximately $19,194 to $22,960, every single dollar is stewarded by uncompensated local officers—President Jeff Olson, Registered Agent & Founding Treasurer Brandon Gale Lewis, and Treasurer Roy Lang—ensuring our resources go straight to the people who need them most.
