http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/foundation/a/aa/501(c)(3)_Letter.png "We determined that you are a public charity under the Code section(s) listed in the heading of this letter [i.e. 170(b)(1)(A)(vi)]." I still have no opinion on what to call it. And I'll admit that despite the fact that I said "charity" was a less precise term above (which I said because it doesn't seem to have a legal definition), I can also see an argument that it's a more precise term (I guess it's more precise, but less well defined, although "non-profit" actually isn't legally defined under Florida law either AFAIK, the actual law uses the phrase "corporation not for profit"). _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
