A Dozen Local Nonprofits No Longer Tax Exempt

The Internal Revenue Service announced last week that it had revoked the tax-exempt status of 275,000 nonprofit organizations, including a dozen with Piedmont addresses.

A June 8 report in the New York Times explains that the IRS action has reduced the nation's nonprofit sector, "by roughly 17 percent, to about 1.3 million charities, trade associations, membership groups and labor unions.”

The Piedmont nonprofits included in the IRS list of organizations no longer eligible to receive tax-deductible contributions are as follows:
