Visit http://www.irs.gov/charities/article/0,,id=240099,00.html to review the list. If you discover your nonprofit listed, visit the Council of Non-Profits to learn about options: http://www.councilofnonprofits.org/revocation . The site offers a tip sheet on automatic revocation and what to do if your organization?s tax-exempt status was revoked. It also features a podcast that explains a nonprofit?s obligation to file an annual return and how revocation is automatic if it does not file for three consecutive years. Nonprofits that re-apply may write a letter to the IRS requesting reinstatement of their tax-exempt status retroactive to the date of their original tax-exempt recognition, but the IRS will grant that request only if it determines that there was 'reasonable cause' for the nonprofit to have missed the filing deadlines. Visit http://www.irs.gov/charities/article/0,,id=237760,00.html for more on 'reasonable cause' and to learn about 'retroactive reinstatement' see http://www.irs.gov/charities/article/0,,id=221593,00.html .

Message-ID: <4E005CB6.EDFF.0014.0@PRD.STATE.OR.US> Fewer than 10 days remain to help the Oregon Cultural Trust reach a fundraising goal. Last month, the Trust challenged Oregonians to raise $630,000 in new donations by June 30 to support of Oregon culture. That will mean a record $1.7 million dollars in grants to be issued next month for heritage, humanities and arts organizations across the state. "You are Oregon Heritage. You are Culture. This is your opportunity to make a gift to the Cultural Trust that expresses the value of Oregon culture in your life," says Trust manager Kimberly Howard. "Every gift matters. No gift is too small. And the Cultural Trust only works if people pay in, by making a donation. So pay in. Join the thousands of Oregonians who?ve already paid in. Help reach the goal of $4.3 million by June 30, so that as the Cultural Trust announces its 2011-12 grants, we can be as generous with our awards as you?ve been to Oregon culture."
