			| Announcement 2005-89 | December 12, 2005 | Foundations Status of Certain Organizations
                     The following organizations have failed to establish or have been unable
                        to maintain their status as public charities or as operating foundations.
                        Accordingly, grantors and contributors may not, after this date, rely on previous
                        rulings or designations in the Cumulative List of Organizations (Publication
                        78), or on the presumption arising from the filing of notices under section
                        508(b) of the Code. This listing does not indicate that
                        the organizations have lost their status as organizations described in section
                        501(c)(3), eligible to receive deductible contributions.
                      Former Public Charities. The following organizations
                        (which have been treated as organizations that are not private foundations
                        described in section 509(a) of the Code) are now classified as private foundations:
                      If an organization listed above submits information that warrants the
                        renewal of its classification as a public charity or as a private operating
                        foundation, the Internal Revenue Service will issue a ruling or determination
                        letter with the revised classification as to foundation status.  Grantors
                        and contributors may thereafter rely upon such ruling or determination letter
                        as provided in section 1.509(a)-7 of the Income Tax Regulations.  It is not
                        the practice of the Service to announce such revised classification of foundation
                        status in the Internal Revenue Bulletin.
