Under the Internal Revenue Code, churches that satisfy the requirements of Section 501(c)(3) are generally exempt from federal income taxation and are excepted from the requirement to apply for formal recognition of exemption pursuant to Section 508(c)(1)(A).

Contributions to organizations that qualify under Sections 501(c)(3) and 170 of the Internal Revenue Code are generally deductible for federal income tax purposes, subject to applicable legal requirements and the individual circumstances of each donor.

Upon reasonable request, the Holo Tree Foundation will make available documentation concerning its organizational formation, governing structure, religious purpose, and other information relevant to its status under applicable federal and state law.
