WVOHOA is a 501(c)(3). The IRS requires our status to be available to the public. Please review our Organization’s documents at: WVOHOA Documents
WVOHOA recognizes the subtle differences between the two IRS codes. WVOHOA’s primary activity is education by sharing information and increasing knowledge, not lobbying.
- No organization may qualify for section 501(c)(3) status if a substantial part of its activities is attempting to influence legislation (commonly known as lobbying). A 501(c)(3) organization may engage in some lobbying, but too much lobbying activity risks loss of tax-exempt status.
- 501(c)(4) social welfare organization may further its exempt purposes through lobbying as its primary activity without jeopardizing its exempt status.
TIP: WVOHOA cannot endorse legal counsel, businesses or political parties.
