A short-form version of the Internal Revenue Service application for nonprofit status continues to bolster the number of groups getting a 501(c)3 designation.
The IRS granted 501(c)(3) designations to 79,545 religious and charitable organizations last year, according to the newly released 2016 IRS Data Book, an annual summation of its work. That number is down slightly from 2015, when it conferred nonprofit status to 86,915 applicants.
Still, in each of the past three years, the number of approvals has more than doubled the 2013 figure, the last full year before the agency introduced the 1023-EZ. The three-page form was made available in July 2014 for organizations with less than $50,000 in annual gross revenue.
