Tax Exemption and Donor Disclosure
Once we have finalized the incorporation for your nonprofit, we will proceed with the tax exemption process. Since your website will go live soon and you will start accepting registrations for your 5k walk before the nonprofit has received tax-exempt status, please be sure to post the following donor disclosure statement on your webpages:
Epilepsy Awareness Tri-County is in the process of applying for 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status. If the IRS and FTB approve Epilepsy Awareness Tri-County’s application, then the organization’s tax-exempt status will be in effect as of July 2, 2024 (its date of incorporation) and your donation will be tax deductible. However, Epilepsy Awareness Tri-County cannot guarantee that it will receive tax-exempt recognition from the IRS or FTB. Therefore, if you choose to donate to Epilepsy Awareness Tri-County while its tax-exempt application is pending, you expressly acknowledge that the organization is not currently tax-exempt and that your donation may not be tax-deductible. See https://www.irs.gov/charities-non-profits/charitable-organizations/contributions-to-organization-with-irs-application-pending
for more information.

We will never sell your personal information. All transactions are secure and private. You won't receive emails without your consent. Making a donation, inquiry, or event registration means you opt in to receive emails and notices, but you can unsubscribe at any time.
