Dear Applicant:
We're pleased to tell you we determined vou're exempt from federal income tax under Internal Revenue Code
(IRC) Section 501(c)(3). Donors can deduct contributions they make to vou under IRC Section 170. You're also qualified to receive tax deductible bequests, devises, transfers or gifts under Section 2055, 2106, or 2522. This letter could help resolve questions on your exempt status. Please keep it for your records.
Organizations exempt under IRC Section 501(c)(3) are further classified as either public charities or private foundations. We determined you're a public charity under the IRC Section listed at the top of this letter.
If we indicated at the top of this letter that you're required to file Form 990/990-EZ/990-N, our records show you're required to file an annual information return (Form 990 or Form 990-EZ) or electronic notice (Form
990-N, the e-Postcard). If you don't file a required return or notice for three consecutive years, your exempt status will be automatically revoked.
If we indicated at the top of this letter that an addendum applies, the enclosed addendum is an integral part of this letter.
