<div>We want to be transparent with you about our tax-exempt status.
</div>
<div>Abide in Love is a nonprofit organization and has submitted its application for 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status to the IRS. This process can take several months. While we have every reason to believe our
</div>
<div>application will be approved, we cannot guarantee it.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>What this means for your donation:</strong>
</div>
<div>-If our application is approved: The IRS will retroactively recognize our tax-exempt status to our date of formation. In that event, your donation will be considered tax-deductible. We will notify you as soon as we receive our official determination letter and provide you with a tax receipt.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>-If our application is not approved: Your donation will not be tax-deductible.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We appreciate your understanding and support as we work toward this milestone.
