501(c)(3) Charity
Cecily's Closet has filed our 1023 form with the IRS so we can be recognized as a 501(c)(3) Charity. A 501(c)(3) is type of incorporation that is used to set up a charitable corporation. A charitable company is a type of company that is set up with the intention of providing a service to the community, rather than making a profit. Incorporating a company makes it a legal entity responsible for its actions in the community.
Cecily's Closet received its approved Articles of Incorporation from the California Secretary of State on March 29, 2009. Board Members and Advisors are not paid by Cecily's Closet. We are 100% funded through generous donations and from the time and committment of our unpaid volunteers. Cecily's Closet has published its Bylaws and Conflict of Interest Policy for public viewing. If you have any questions about our mission or how we utilize our funds, please contact us at [email protected].
501(c)3 exemptions apply to corporations, and any community chest, fund or foundation organized and operated exclusively for religious, charitable, scientific, testing for public safety, literary, educational purposes to foster national or international amaeteur sports competition, promote the arts or for the prevention of cruetly to children or animals.
Another provision provides a deduction for federal income tax purposes, for some donors who make charitable contributions to most types of 501(c)3 organizations. Regulations specify which such deductions must be verifiable in order to be allowed (e.g., receipts for donations over $250.)
