Dear Applicant:

We are pleased to inform you that upon review of your application for tax exempt status we have determined that you are exempt from federal income tax under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.

Organizations exempt under 501(c)(3) of the Code are further classified as either public charities or private foundations.
