ties and private foundations.

Public Charities and Private

Foundations

Foundation classification is important

because different tax rules apply to the

operations of each entity. For more

information on the different rules, see

IRS.gov/Charities-Non-Profits/EO-

Operational-Requirements-Private-

Foundations-and-Public-Charities.

Every organization described in section

501(c)(3) is classified as a private

foundation unless it qualifies for one of

the public charity exceptions. For some

organizations, the primary distinction

between a public charity and a private

foundation is its sources of financial

support.

word “foundation” in their names.

Public charities. The following section

501(c)(3) organizations are classified as

public charities.

Requirements for Tax-Exempt

Status Under Section 501(c)(3)

To qualify for exemption under section

501(c)(3), an organization must be

organized and operated exclusively for

one or more exempt purposes.

Organizations that are public charities

•

based upon their activities (without regard

to their sources of support), such as

churches, schools, hospitals, medical

research organizations, and cooperative

hospital service organizations and

agricultural research organizations

(sections 509(a)(1) and 170(b)(1)(A)(i),

(ii), (iii), and (ix)).

State Registration Requirements

Tax exemption under section 501(c)(3) is

a matter of federal law. After receiving

federal tax exemption, an organization

may also be required to register with one

or more states where it holds assets or

where it will solicit contributions. The

organization may also need to seek

exemption from state taxes. The National

Association of State Charity Officials

(NASCO) maintains a website that

provides informational links to the various

states for these purposes. It can be

accessed at www.nasconet.org .

Organized. An organization must be

organized as a corporation, a limited

liability company (LLC), an

unincorporated association, or a trust.

Its organizing document (corporate

articles of incorporation, LLC articles of

organization, articles of association or

constitution of an unincorporated

association, or trust agreement or

declaration of trust) must limit the

organization's purpose(s) and

Organizations that normally receive

more than one-third of their support from

contributions, membership fees, and

gross receipts from activities related to

their exempt functions, and not more than

Foreign organizations are those that were

You may only delete the information that

If you post the documents on your

Limiting your purposes by reference to

under section 501(c)(3). Your organizing

charitable purpose such as “relief of the

elderly within the meaning of section

501(c)(3).”

However, purposes listed in your

organizing document broader than those

listed in section 501(c)(3) may cause you

to fail the organizational test. In that case,

you will need to amend your organizing

document before applying. A reference to

section 501(c)(3) won’t ensure that your

purposes are limited to those described in

section 501(c)(3) if other provisions

describing your purposes include one or

more non-exempt purposes. The following

“Gross receipts” also includes

payment by a governmental unit that may

be called a “grant” but is actually payment

for a service or facility for the use of the

government payer, rather than for the

direct benefit of the public.

Colleges, universities, and other

educational institutions and agencies

subject to the Family Educational Rights

and Privacy Act (20 U.S.C. 1232g) don’t

need to list the names of individuals to

financial assistance where such

disclosure would violate the privacy

provisions of the law. Instead, group each

type of financial aid provided, indicate the

number of individuals who received the

aid, and specify the aggregate dollar

amount.

Example. The state government gives

a conservation group a grant to study the

effects of a new sewage treatment plant

on an ecologically significant woodland

area. Although the payment is called a

grant, it is actually gross receipts that

should be included on line 9. The payment

is by a governmental unit (state) for a

study for its own use, not for the direct

benefit of the general public. A for-profit

consulting company could’ve done the

study rather than by the tax-exempt

conservation group.

See Adjusted net income.

A non-fixed payment means a payment that depends on discretion. For

performance by the governing board is a non-fixed payment because the

governing body has discretion over whether the bonus is paid and the

amount of the bonus.

Organizing document

organizing document of a trust is the trust agreement.

organization.

Private foundation

An organization that is exempt under section 501(c)(3) is a private

foundation unless it is a church, school, hospital, governmental unit, entity

that undertakes testing for public safety, organization that has broad

financial support from the general public, or organization that supports one

or more other organizations that are themselves classified as public

charities.

Private operating foundation

A type of private foundation that makes qualifying distributions directly for

the active conduct of its educational, charitable, and religious purposes.

“Directly for the active conduct” means that the distributions are used by

the foundation itself to carry out the programs for which it is organized and

operated. Grants made to assist other organizations or individuals are

normally considered indirect.

-33-

(2), 509(a)(3), or 509(a)(4).

Reasonable compensation
