TAX EXEMPT ORGANIZATIONS IN DOOR COUNTY

Door County is a special place.  There is a spirit that keeps us here - or draws us back each year.  So it's no wonder that Door County is also home to countless people who are working hard to sustain our quality of life.

There are over 325 charities, associations, service clubs, and other citizen groups serving our community!  In an effort to help connect people who care with the causes that matter, we have compiled this list of tax-exempt organizations that are based in Door County, Wisconsin.  They are sorted as follows:

Arts Organizations
Business Associations
Churches
Civic Groups and Service Clubs
Community Foundations
Educational Organizations
Environmental Groups
Granting Foundations
Healthcare Organizations
Historic Preservationists
Human & Social Service Charities
Recreational Groups

The list was compiled through a good faith search of tax returns filed with the Internal Revenue Service and a review of other publicly available documents.  Of course, given the difficulty of maintaining such a comprehensive database, it is inevitable that there will be the occasional oversight.  If you discover one, please accept our sincerest apologies and send us your additions and corrections by email.


TAX EXEMPT CLASSIFICATION

While there are many Door County organizations that are "tax-exempt" under section 501(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, not all of them are considered charitable by the IRS.

Generally speaking, a contribution to an organization classified as a 501 (c)(3) public charity  earns you the maximum tax deduction as allowed by law.  The tax deductibility to other types of 501 (c) organizations varies depending on a number of factors. Please contact the respective organzations to confirm their tax status and the deductibility of any gift you might choose to make.

Visit the IRS website for a complete explanation of the different types of exempt organizations.  

While a good faith effort was made when compiling this list, the Door County Community Foundation does not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of this information.
