USDA’s 501(c)3 Not for Profit Group Exemption Program

Over the years it seems as though the IRS has pigeon-holed square dance groups into the 501(c)(7) Nonprofit Category – But this is absolutely not where square dance groups belong. The 501(c)(7) category is for “closed membership groups” similar to country clubs. Any income from non-members or guests as we square dancers like to call them, would be taxable. After many years of trying, USDA was finally able to establish the entire organization as a 501(c)3 Not-for-Profit organization, who in turn can offer that same status to groups and organizations affiliated with USDA. This program will outline how your organization can benefit from this status; application and renewal processes will be outlined during the session. Many groups have taken advantage of this program – learn how you can too!

Pamphlets and brochures, our monthly webinar series and so much more are available on our website, www.USDA.org.
