The Rainbow/PUSH Coalition is a not-for-profit organization, but donations are not deductible for income tax purposes. Should you wish to make tax deductible donations, please visit our affiliate organization, Citizenship Education Fund (CEF).
Nowhere on CEF's site is there any specific statement about it being a 501(c) non-profit.
At the top of this CEF-site link, though, is this statement:
If you would like additional information not found on our website, contact us: info@rainbowpush.org
B4. Total fund raising and administrative costs shall be reasonable.
Reasonable use of funds requires that a) at least 50% of total income from all sources be spent on programs and activities directly related to the organization's purposes; b) at least 50% of public contributions be spent on the programs and activities described in solicitations, in accordance with donor expectations; c) fund raising costs not exceed 35% of related contributions; and d) total fund raising and administrative costs not exceed 50% of total income.
An organization which does not meet one or more of these percentages limitations may provide evidence to demonstrate that its use of funds is reasonable. The higher fund raising and administrative costs of a newly created organization, donor restrictions on the use of funds, exceptional bequests, a stigma associated with a cause, and environment or political events beyond an organization's control are among the factors which may result in costs that are reasonable although they do not meet these percentage limitations.
Stay safe; stay armed.

Your Comment About This Charity:
I would be interested in see an official accounting of how much money this charity received - the sources - and how it is spent.
It's amazing, that such a large and publicly mentioned charity is NOT on your list...
Why is that?
