[Txlibdistricts] Tax Exempt Status

[Roxanna Deane]

As part of our capital campaign we are putting in a lot of grant
applications.  Some only want to give to 501 (c) (3) organizations which
would be our Friends group.  Others say that governmental or political
entities may apply.  Clearly the law that established library districts
states that Districts are political subdivisions of the state.  The IRS sent
us a letter that says your organization MAY be a governmental
instrumentality.  If we want a more definitive statement from them we have
to request a letter ruling on our status and there is a hefty charge for
this.  I am wondering what the rest of you are using for documentation on
this issue.  Thanks.
