Who determines/selects which charities to list in the Charity List?
Charities apply to be included in either the national, international or local section. Charities complete applications and certifications regarding finances and services. The application requires copies of a charity’s: IRS letter of determination as a 501(c)(3) charity, IRS Form 990 (tax information), as well as other information. A national charity must provide programs in at least fifteen states and local charities must have an established location in the local area. At all levels, Federal employees review charitable applications to determine eligibility.
