Awareness, Prevention and Treatment of Disease

Promotion of wellness and good health.

Health Organizations

The promotion of health as a charitable activity is most commonly associated with the operation of a hospital. However, health organizations cover a wide-variety of agendas including treatment of disease, prevention of disease or illness, increasing awareness or addressing the root cause of a disease or illness, for example, the lack of clean drinking water.

Organizations promoting health and wellness should meet 2 basic tests: 1. The activity must serve a public interest and deemed beneficial to the community as a whole. In other words, the organization should serve public, rather than private interests. 2. The community benefit standard is the test used for determining if a health care provider is operated in a way that accomplishes a charitable purpose. In determining community benefit standard, the IRS will examine all of the relevant facts and circumstances.

501(c)(3) Definition
