NONPROFIT GROUP EXEMPTIONS FOR GFWC CLUBS
We continue to receive questions from clubs requesting tax exempt status
under GFWC’s group exemption as a 501c3. We would appreciate your
assistance in furthering club members’ understanding of why we are not
able to offer this.
It is true that for several years prior to
1989, GFWC did offer this umbrella coverage. However, in 1989,
the GFWC Executive Committee decided to curtail further filings for
clubs and state federations seeking nonprofit status under GFWC’s group
exemption.
Reasons for this original decision include the fact that GFWC would have
to hire additional staff to keep up with the paperwork and
correspondence between the clubs, the IRS, and our accountants and
attorneys. Additionally, GFWC is unable to act as tax
advisors—tax-related issues are quite complex and can be confusing even
for the most experienced legal consultants.
Since 1989, the GFWC Executive Committee has reviewed the possibility of
adding clubs to the GFWC group exemption on several occasions, as recent
as March 2007. Each time professionals were consulted, and GFWC was
advised not to add clubs or state federations to the group exemption.
GFWC would be responsible for ensuring that each club or state
federation under the group exemption not only qualified to be added to
the exemption, but that they continued to operate under all the
provisions for nonprofit governance set forth for 501c3 organizations,
the enforcement of which has become more stringent in recent years.
We regret that GFWC is not able to include additional clubs or state
federations under the group exemption. While
GFWC still maintains a group exemption, it is only for those clubs and
state federations that applied and were approved prior to 1989.
Clubs and state federations may, of course, apply directly with the IRS
for their own exemption.
For questions, please contact GFWC finance director.
