[or-roots] Question about GFO Charity Status

[Tom Tregoning]

Hi List,
The following is listed in IRS Pub 78 of Exempt Org's.
Organization Name:      Genealogical Forum of Oregon Inc.       
City:   Portland, OR    
Code:   None - A public charity with a 50% deductibility limitation.

My understanding is that it is tax deductible with limitations.  Please talk with your tax person.

Tom
