Establishing Tax-Exempt Status

Re: Establishing Tax-Exempt Status

From time to time you may be asked by a financial institution, vendor, or donor to provide evidence of tax-exempt status. The way that congregations and organizations in the Diocese can establish that they are tax-exempt under the group exemption held by The Episcopal Church is with an association letter issued by the Treasurer’s Office of The Episcopal Church. Nadine Duverseau is the person in that office who can prepare this letter for your parish or organization. When writing to request this letter you will need to provide her with an address and Tax ID number for the parish or organization. She will verify these against a spreadsheet of entities that the Diocese has provided her. The information is taken from parochial reports, so it should match what you have. If it does not match, let me know and I will work with you and Nadyne to make sure it is correct in the master list.

Nadyne’s contact information is as follows:
