non-profit question
Dear LAZYWEBZ:
Is there an accounting or tax or other official distinction between a "non-profit" and a "public-private partnership"? I'm a little confused as to whether a PPP could file as a 501(c)(3). I guess it would depend on the structure of the organization, but...dunno. Cornfused.
Update:
From Gloria Guard, President of the People’s Emergency Center homeless shelter and transition program (PEC):
"The PPP is descriptive. Like XYZ is a faith based childcare ctr or XYZ is a community development agency. Its not the legal definition. The non profit 501 c 3 is the legal def of how it is incorporated. Under fedl law. You should be able to get their state form 990 on Guidestar website. "
