  • Donors can deduct contributions to WMI under section 170, and WMI can receive tax-deductible bequests and gifts.
  • WMI is classified as a public charity, not a private foundation.
  • WMI must file an annual information return or e-Postcard with the IRS. The letter notes that an organization that fails to file for three consecutive years automatically loses its exemption. See Annual Filings.
