Governance Update: 501(c)3
I’m pleased, no… thrilled to be stating that Families Without Fathers has finally (nearly 10 months in the making) received the much coveted IRS 501(c)3 approval. This now means that Families Without Fathers is elligible to apply for Federal grants, foundation funds, corporate philanthropy programs, etc. Most importantly, this means that YOUR individual contributions to Families Without Fathers are tax deductible (within the guidelines and rules that apply for federally recognized, 501(c)3 non-profit organizations.)
Our Effective Date of Exemption is: February 3, 2005. Thanks to all who have contributed to our organization while we waited for our exemption. The exemption IS retroactive to this date!
Here’s our letter (both in a Word doc. and image file)
