How do I find the list stating the ones that have lost their exemption status? I work with a lot of non-profit organizations and I would like to know if some of them that I work with is on that list.

Thanks for this insightful post.

That doesn't mean it's never happened...I'm just not aware of it. If you are concerned about grant applications, just make sure your program descriptions are very clear.

I am a new board member for a dynamite youth organization. I'm also on the fundraising committee and recently noticed that our organization is listed with the IRS 501(c)3 as "Category (NTEE): Recreation, Sports, Leisure, Athletics / (Community Recreational Centers)"; however, we are a youth development program that really turns around our kids' lives using boxing as the vehicle of change. I'm wondering if our category has a negative impact on fundors? Is there a way to apply to change our category with the IRS? If so, how? Thanks. I have a question.

There's WAY too much involved to attempt addressing this in this forum. Craig…you need to call our office for some consulting time on this issue.

A church camp which has become inactive is available to be made into a ministry center and I'm not sure of the best way to make the transition from one organization to another. How should I proceed?
