Tax-Exempt Status Pending

For the Gospel Ministries is currently pending 501(c)(3) approval from the IRS. According to the IRS, "When the IRS approves a timely filed exemption application, exempt status is recognized back to the date the organization was created. Thus, while an application is pending, the organization can treat itself as exempt from federal income tax under section 501(c)(3).” The estimated 501(c)(3) approval period takes 6-9 months, thus all donations in 2021 should be tax-deductible by January 2022. If you require a tax receipt, you may want to consider waiting to donate until our 501(c)(3) status is approved.

Additional Terms & Conditions

Acceptance of any contribution, gift, or grant is at the discretion of For the Gospel. For the Gospel will not accept any gift unless it can be used or expended consistently with the purpose and mission of the For the Gospel.

No irrevocable gift, whether outright or life-income in character, will be accepted if under any reasonable set of circumstances the gift would jeopardize the donor’s financial security.

Certain other gifts, real property, personal property, in-kind gifts, non-liquid securities, and contributions whose sources are not transparent or whose use is restricted in some manner, must be reviewed prior to acceptance due to the special obligations raised or liabilities they may pose for For the Gospel.

For the Gospel will provide acknowledgments to donors meeting tax requirements for property received by the charity as a gift. However, except for gifts of cash and publicly traded securities, no value shall be ascribed to any receipt or other form of substantiation of a gift received by For the Gospel.

For the Gospel will respect the intent of the donor relating to gifts for restricted purposes and those relating to the desire to remain anonymous. With respect to anonymous gifts, For the Gospel will restrict information about the donor to only those staff members with a need to know.
