We just learned from the IRS that our application for 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status has been assigned to an agent for review. This great news takes us one step closer to receiving federal tax-exempt status.

501(c)(3) Application Sent to the IRS

Our application for 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status (Form 1023) has been sent to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). If approved, U.S. taxpayers' donations to us will be tax-deductible, and we will be able to apply for grants and other forms of support only available to tax-exempt organizations. Please note that, if you have already made a donation to us, or make one before we receive 501(c)(3) status, your donation will likely be considered tax-exempt, retroactively, if our application is approved.
