Publication 78, Cumulative List of
Organizations described in Section 170(c) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, is a list of
organizations eligible to receive tax-deductible
charitable contributions. This online version is
offered to help you conduct a more efficient search
of these organizations.
In addition, you may verify an organization's
tax-exempt status and eligibility to receive
tax-deductible charitable contributions by asking to
see an organization's IRS letter recognizing it as
tax-exempt. You may also confirm an organization's
status by calling the IRS (toll-free) at
1-877-829-5500.
You may download the electronic version of
Publication 78. The download file is a large (12.6
MB) compressed file, from which you may extract a
very large delimited text file. Some computers may
have difficulty downloading and extracting a file of
this size. In addition, opening the file using word
processing software may prevent
formatting/appearance issues that may be present if
the file is viewed with a text editing program.
