Is Habitat for Humanity considered a non profit?

Does Habitat for Humanity have a 501c3 on file with the IRS? When did Habitat for Humanity get their non profit status?
Tip for best answer: M$1.00
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Hello tinews,
Yes, Habitat for Humanity is a non profit organization and is exempted from paying tax. If you need additional information when this not for profit Christian organization was exempt from income tax, please refer to the link given below. This document is currently present on the www.habitat.org website.

http://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&q=cache:6ukTp3s8f3IJ:https://www.habitat.org/giving/planned/pdf/501c_3_exempt_ltr_current.pdf+habitat+for+humanity+501c3&hl=en&gl=in&pid=bl&srcid=ADGEESitiiZ8a8eGRtKb6hJuIwf94aR4S53Qw7zH7CrkzWKOLJpN_5zxgG3qpMcwpyEY2YEGwK00dv_gvdcccHImk4KHsQBnVQcIAL2uHQXci7TU1wONCA7oS9FnNJ4DESry1x-iUWzm&sig=AHIEtbTUy1bP_EVpNXuNXnMMxMCR7HuQjw

According to the document present at this link a determination letter was issued in 1987 which recognized that Habitat for Humanity was exempt from federal taxes. An additional request was made regarding their tax exempt status in 2004. This letter was sent as a result of that enquiry and it states that they are currently classed as a public charity and therefore are exempt under section 501(c)(3).
As per this document, subordinates listed by Habitat for Humanity are also exempt from federal taxes under section 501(c)(3).
