RE: Request for Group Exemption Letter
To Whom It May Concern:
The International Jugglers’ Association, Inc. (IJA), hereby requests a group exemption
letter for the subordinate organizations identified on the enclosed “List of IJA
Subordinates.” The person signing this letter is a principal officer of the IJA.
By this letter, the IJA acknowledges that to the best of the signing officer’s knowledge
and belief, all subordinates are:
(i) currently affiliated with the IJA;
(ii) subject to the IJA’s general supervision or control;
(iii) exempt under the same paragraph of IRC 501(c);
(iv) not a private foundation as defined in section 509(a);
(v) on the same accounting period as the IJA (January 1 – December 31);
(vi) not organized or operated in a foreign country; and
(vii) willing to be recognized as exempt only from the date of application.
The EIN Number for the International Jugglers’ Association, Inc., is _______________,
and the letter recognizing the exemption is dated _______________, and was issued by
the IRS office located at _____________________________. The character, purpose
and method of operation of the International Jugglers’ Association, Inc., has not changed
since the exemption was recognized by the IRS.
Enclosed is Form 8718, User Fee for Exempt Organization Determination Letter Request,
and our organization’s check number __________ in the amount of $500.00.
The purposes and activities of the subordinates are to educate and render assistance to
fellow jugglers, to provide an accessible source of information pertaining to juggling to
jugglers and the public, and to record and maintain the history of juggling. Enclosed is a
sample copy of the Articles of Association, Articles of Incorporation, and Chapter
Affiliation Agreement used by the subordinate organizations and on file with the IJA for
each subordinate listed herein. To the best of the officer’s knowledge, the purposes and
activities of the subordinates are those identified in this letter and in the representative
governing instruments.
A copy of the Receipts and Expenditures of each subordinate organization is enclosed.
Each subordinate has given written authorization to the IJA to be included in the group
exemption letter, and the written authorization was signed by an authorized officer of the
subordinate.
I believe this letter and the enclosures provide all of the information required by
Publication 557, Central Organization Application Procedure. However, if you have any
questions or require further information, please contact the undersigned at the address
and/or telephone number listed below.
Very truly yours,
