Question: Some donors are asking for "a recent letter confirming 501 c 3 status".
How do I request this and what is correct wording?
Answer:

Dear Mr. Locklear,

Thank you for contacting The Community Toolbox.

If your organization has 501 c 3 status, a copy of the letter should be in the files. If not, that is something obtained from the Internal Revenue Service.

More information about 501 c 3 status can be found in Chapter 43 of the Community Toolbox.
