[UPDATE] Our Tax Exempt Status

Since March, Charleston Waterkeeper has worked with its CPA and legal counsel to complete all documentation required to seek reinstatement of our 501(c)(3) status.

On Wednesday, August 7, Charleston Waterkeeper submitted all filings requested by the IRS and the State of South Carolina. As a result, Charleston Waterkeeper is a charitable organization in compliance with the registration requirement of the “South Carolina Solicitation of Charitable Funds Act.”

We remain confident we are taking all necessary actions to remedy the oversight that led to the revocation of our tax-exempt status. Until then, all donations to Charleston Waterkeeper continue to be tax-deductible under our fiscal sponsor, the Waterkeeper Alliance.

During this process, we have continued to focus on our work designed to protect your right to swimmable, drinkable, fishable water. For example on July 10, we launched our Recreational Water Quality Monitoring Program which tests the “swimmability” of local hotspots for swimming, SUPing, kayaking, and sailing. Learn more about the program and view our weekly data results here.

We are thankful for the many professionals and advisors within the nonprofit sector who have helped us through this issue. We appreciate and value your continued patience and support.
