The following is a cumulative listing of names of organizations that
are presently challenging, under section 7428 of the Internal Revenue Code,
the revocation of their status as organizations entitled to receive deductible
contributions in declaratory judgment suits in the Tax Court, the United States
District Court for the District of Columbia, or the United States Court of
Federal Claims. The purpose of this announcement is to inform potential donors
to these organizations of the protection under 7428(c) for certain contributions
made during the litigation period.
Protection under section 7428(c) of the Code begins on the date that
the notice of revocation is published in the Internal Revenue Bulletin and
ends on the date on which a court first determines that an organization is
not described in section 170(c)(2), as more particularly set forth in section
7428(c)(1). In the case of individual contributors, the maximum amount of
contributions protected during this period is limited to $1,000.00, with a
husband and wife being treated as one contributor. This protection is not
extended to any individual who was responsible, in whole or in part, for the
acts or omissions of the organization that were the basis for the revocation.
This protection also applies (but without limitation as to amount) to organizations
described in section 170(c)(2) which are exempt from tax under section 501(a).
If the organization ultimately prevails in its declaratory judgment suit,
deductibility of contributions would be subject to the normal limitations
set forth under section 170.
