Definition of Public Charity
A concept of Public Charity applicable in the United States: A charitable organization, recognized under IRS Section 501(c)(3), that generally receives at least one-third (or in some cases 10% public support if certain facts and circumstances are present) of its support from a broad segment of the general public or from a governmental unit. Federal tax laws define four types of public charities: (1) public institutions, such as churches and religious congregations, schools and other educational institutions, hospitals and medical research institutions, and governmental units; (2) publicly-supported charities that receive at least one third of their financial support from qualifying contributions and grants or from providing program services to a broad constituency; (3) supporting organizations that are organized and operated exclusively for the benefit of or to carry out the functions of one or more publicly supported charities; and (4) public safety testing organizations. There are specific federal rules for the operation of certain public charities established as medical research organizations, charities that operate as credit counseling organizations, and certain supporting organizations, as well as for donor advised funds held by a public charity.
