...As a religous organiation they would not have 501(c)3 status.
Given that I'm not an expert on non-profits, I am slightly confused. From what I can tell from the following IRS webpage,
http://www.irs.gov/charities/article/0,,id=96099,00.html
it seems acceptable, and normal, for a religious organization to obtain 501(c)3 status.
Urban Ventures states its mission as follows: To build successful community in our city through developing youth leadership, strengthening families, and creating viable work opportunities.
Besides, although I am not familiar with Urban Ventures, the above mission statement seems to contain desirable goals for Minneapolis. Please clarify for me what the problem is with them receiving public money - is it because their work utilizes a conservative message and not a liberal one?
