Safeguarding UNWLA’s Tax-exempt Status Frequently Asked Questions compiled by Oksana Xenos May UNWLA, or its Regional Councils and Branches, collect and donate money to other organizations ’ charitable causes in the name of UNWLA? No. UNWLA and its Regional Councils and Branches may collect and donate money o n l y through UNWLA’s own projects and programs. Any distribution of funds must directly relate to U N W L A ’s m is s io n a n d p u r p o s e s as stated in UNWLA’s bylaws and reported to the IRS. Otherwise, UNWLA jeopardizes its tax-exempt status. Raising money for other organizations ’ causes is not part of the mission of UNWLA. May individual members of UNWLA collect and donate money to other organizations ’ charitable causes? Yes, but only in their o w n names, and not on behalf of UNWLA. May UNWLA, or its Regional Councils and Branches, establish a UNWLA-sponsored “information service ’’for the benefit of recent Ukrainian immigrants? No. An “information service” is not an activity that would directly accomplish UNWLA’s mission or any of its stated purposes. To safeguard its tax-exempt status, UNWLA must engage in the type of activities for which it claims exemption. An organization that regularly carries on an activity, which does not importantly contribute to its exempt рифове, risks the loss of its tax-exempt status. May UNWLA participate in a political campaign on behalf of a candidate for elective political office? No. IRC (Internal Revenue Code) §50 1(c)(3) organizations are absolutely prohibited from participating, directly or indirectly, in any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for elective public office. This prohibition applies just as fully to foreign (e.g., Ukrainian) political campaigns as it does to U. S. political campaigns. What kinds of political campaign “participation ” are prohibited? Contributions to political campaigns or public statements of position made on behalf of UNWLA would violate the prohibition against political campaign activity. What are the potential consequences of a violation of the prohibition against political campaign activity? Violation of this prohibition may result in revocation of tax-exempt status and the imposition of certain excise taxes. 12 “НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ”, ВЕРЕСЕНЬ 2005 Видання C оюзу Українок A мерики - перевидано в електронному форматі в 2012 році .
