8 Why are nonprofits tax exempt? Taxing nonprofits would be difficult and counter-productive. Lawyers and economists have pointed out problems that could arise if government attempted to tax nonprofits. These include the difficulty of determining what qualified as taxable income and the adverse affects taxation might have on the viability of many worthwhile organizations. NFP Sector 8
9 Why are nonprofits tax exempt? Nonprofits benefit society. provide valuable services to society encourage civic involvement provide information on public policy issues encourage economic development make society richer and more vibrant NFP Sector 9
10 Why are nonprofits tax exempt? Exemption for religious nonprofits preserves separation of church and state. Tax-exemption for religious nonprofits limits government's ability to use tax policy as a tool to promote one religion over another or to tax a church out of existence. NFP Sector 10

38 Only You Can Prevent In a matter of days, several separate instances have been reported where parents were caught embezzling tens of thousands of dollars from league coffers. In most instances the boards were not aware of the illegal activity for about 3 years. In Central California, a 43-year old mother and coach admitted to stealing $24,000 from the Turlock Youth Soccer League. The treasurer of the Livonia City Soccer Club arraigned for stealing over $100,000. In Washington, father and treasurer of the Spartan Baseball Club, a select baseball club for teenagers, was arrested and charged with embezzling over $21,000. In Pennsylvania, the treasurer took $12,000 from the coffers of the Coplay Sports in Allentown. Chapter 12 Granof-5e 38
39 Only You Can Prevent In a matter of days, several separate instances have been reported where parents were caught embezzling tens of thousands of dollars from league coffers. In most instances the boards were not aware of the illegal activity for about 3 years. In Wisconsin, the former president of the Green Bay Swim stole $47,000 over a three-year period In Michigan, the treasurer of the Marine High School Booster Club was charged for stealing $35,000. In Ohio, the president of the Springdale Youth Boosters Inc. is charged with stealing $76,000. In South Carolina, more than $13,000 was allegedly stolen by its vice president/treasurer from the Pinch Elementary School PTO. Chapter 12 Granof-5e 39
40 If you serve on volunteer board Consider instituting a peer audit of the activities of the organization at least once a year. A committee of at least two people (who don t handle any of the money) meet with treasurer to go through receipts for amounts paid, deposits, checks, etc. It doesn t take a CPA! Knowing the audit will be done may deter a potential fraudster! Chapter 12 Granof-5e 40
