Revoking tax-exempt

On May 17, 2010, the IRS began revoking tax-exempt status from nonprofits that failed to file three consecutive annual returns (Form 990-N, 990-EZ, 990, or 990-PF). As a result, as many as 300,000 nonprofits may lose their tax-exempt status, effectively shrinking the nonprofit sector by 25%.

What do YOU need to know?
Which nonprofits are at risk?
What happens to a nonprofit that loses its exemption?
What happens if a donor gives to a charity that has lost its exemption?
 
GuideStar’s new report, “Automatic Revocation of Nonprofits’ Tax-Exempt Status: What Nonprofits, Grantmakers, and Donors Need to Know,” answers all of these questions, and more. Written by Linda M. Lampkin of ERI Economic Research Institute, it is a no-nonsense overview of the impact of this earthshaking development in the nonprofit world.

Justice Dept. Is Offering $400,000 Grants

The Justice Dept. is offering multiple grants ranging from $200,000 to $400,000 to governments, public institutions of higher learning and nonprofits, to evaluate girls’ delinquency program.

 DEADLINE: July 8.

FUNDING FOCUS: Grantees will document and measure the effectiveness of delinquency prevention, intervention, and/or treatment programs in preventing and reducing risky behaviors of girls.

Over the past two decades the number of girls entering the juvenile justice system has grown dramatically, OJJDP officials say. This increase has raised a number of questions, they say, including whether delinquency in girls has worsened or society’s responses to girls’ behavior have changed.

ELIGIBILITY: State/local governments, institutions of higher learning and nonprofits.
