1400 Central Texas Nonprofits Lose IRS Tax Exempt Status
Texas nonprofits totaling 21,466 are among the list of 275,000 nonprofits whose federal tax-exempt status has been automatically revoked.
About 1400 of these nonprofits are from the Central Texas area.
Of the Texas nonprofits, 14,178 are 501 (c)(3)s and 2,074 are 501 (c)(4)s.
By comparison, there were approximately 72,000 501 (c)(3)s in Texas prior to this announcement. This is a reduction of approximately 20 percent bringing the total number of charitable nonprofits to approximately 58,000.
It is expected that most of the entities whose tax exempt status were revoked no longer actually exist. But for those that still do exist, the Texas Association of Nonprofit Organizations (TANO) is available to assist Texas nonprofits who may find themselves on the revocation list and who are still operating.
The IRS' list has almost 5,000 fewer Texas entities than the 26,000 that were on the October 2010 list of entities in danger of having their tax exempt status revoked. TANO and others worked hard to get the word out at that time. We achieved some success.
If your nonprofit is on the Texas list, you must take action ASAP. To see if your nonprofit is on the list, go to http://www.tano.org/irs-revocation/.
The following are frequently asked questions concerning IRS revocation.
What should a nonprofit do now that it is no longer tax-exempt?
The National Council of Nonprofits - the national association affiliated with the Texas Association of Nonprofit Organizations - has developed a special webpage and tip sheet on options available to organizations. Nonprofits that re-apply may request in a letter to the IRS that the reinstatement of their tax-exempt status be retroactive to the date of their original tax-exempt recognition, but the IRS will grant that request only if it determines that there was "reasonable cause" for the nonprofit to have missed the filing deadlines. Make sure to carefully follow the instructions on the IRS website for requesting "retroactive reinstatement" of your organization's tax-exempt status.
Can a nonprofit raise funds while it is not tax-exempt?
Yes, but the nonprofit needs to be transparent and honest about the fact that it is not currently tax-exempt and, therefore, that contributions to it are not deductible to the donor.
Do we have other options for raising money?
Consider finding a fiscal sponsor: A nonprofit may want to explore partnering with a fiscal sponsor that can provide the nonprofit with the opportunity to continue to receive gifts that are tax deductible to the donor. Read about fiscal sponsorship.
The IRS has announced a special procedure for eligible small nonprofits to be reinstated. In addition, The Chronicle of Philanthropy has a searchable database.
For assistance in dealing with any challenges you may have as a result of the above, or to glean further information, contact Barry Silverberg, Director of the Center for Community-Based & Nonprofit Organizations at Austin Community College and President & CEO, Texas Association of Nonprofit Organizations at bsilverb@austincc.edu.

PURPOSE: The Aetna Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Aetna Inc., in partnership with Health 2.0, has issued a challenge to solicit new interactive browser-based applications designed to make important federal data about obesity and related data sets more accessible and usable for health services researchers, public health officials, policy makers, and other leaders in the fight against obesity.
The Aetna Foundation Challenge is designed to drive the creation of innovative tools that will connect various government data sets; enable predictive modeling and scenario analysis; transform data into meaningful visualizations such as maps, charts, and illustrations; facilitate the creation of presentation slides; and utilize social media to develop and share information on factors that can affect obesity.
