    I retired from IRS earlier this year after 27 years. Non-profits were not my area of expertise, but a good starting point would be to obtain info from IRS about tax-exempt organizations. Go to www.irs.gov and then download Publication 557, Tax Exempt Status for Your Organization. Hope this helps. Joy
