>>Hi Andreas,

>>Actually, Logos ***does*** claim 501(c)(3) status:

>>As does Christ Church:

>>As does ACCS:

>>
>>As does Community Christian Ministries:
>>http://www.guidestar.org/pqShowGsReport.do?partner=guidestar&npoId=100164639
>>
>>NSA, of course, has chosen a different approach all the while avoiding

>>"This includes the College's refusal to seek tax-exempt status (as a
>>501[c]3
>>organization) from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (see the Important 
>>Tax
>>Information note below). This means that though the College is a legally

>>the
>>College do not receive a tax break from the IRS."
