Anchorage Daily News | Tax codes help nonprofits to get political

Anchorage Daily News | Tax codes help nonprofits to get political: "Like a well-stocked ice cream shop, the Internal Revenue Service offers nonprofits 26 flavors of tax codes they can organize under.
Those that promote the arts, feed the hungry and attract donors across the political spectrum typically form under the ubiquitous vanilla of a nonpartisan, tax-exempt status called a 501(c)3 nonprofit. This status can help fund-raising professionals do their jobs, said Joy Atrops-Kimura, capital campaign manager for the Anchorage Museum Expansion.
But for nonprofits linked to an agenda, the tax code provides a way to get political. "
