Other “501(c)” Organizations

(2)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(10)(12)(13)(15)(17)(19)(25)

“Other” sections of code 501c encompass a wide variety of nonprofit agendas and purposes, some are common and a few exceedingly rare. In almost all situations, contributions to “non” 501(c)(3) organizations are not deductible. However, many of these types of organizations, after receiving IRS recognition of their IRC section 501(c) status obtain incidental benefits such as public recognition of tax-exempt status, exemption from certain state taxes and discounted postage rates. There are distinct requirements for organizations seeking status other than 501(c)(3), including a different application; IRS Form 1024.

Common 501(c) “other” organizations include social welfare companies, recreational and social clubs, business leagues and associations of businesses, home owners associations, labor and agricultural organizations, veteran’s social clubs and fraternal organizations.
