Status Ruling
Two years plus two months and much correspondence after filing a Form 1023,
“Application for Recognition of Exemption Under Section 501(c)(3) of the
Internal Revenue Code,” with the I.R.S., we received a “final” response at the
very end of March of 2010. At that time, the IRS ruled that because “you are an
action organization, as defined in Treasury regulation[s]...,” we are not
considered qualified for 501(c)(3) status. Nevertheless, in November 2010, we
received the following postcard notification: which states “The Internal
Revenue Service recently approved your application as a 501)(c)(3) tax exempt
organization. Congratulations!” It should be noted, also, that we have been a
bona fide, registered, non-profit Corporation in Louisiana since February 7,
2008, and that, by Louisiana law, as well, we are tax-exempt regarding State
tax obligations.
