• Why should I donate to WomenMove instead of other charities helping women?

By supporting WomenMove, you double the impact of the power of your donation. When you donate to WomenMove, your donation not only gets to charities helping to educate & empower women and girls, but it ALSO raises cultural awareness, celebrates women, and supports the arts through a world dance benefit show. The show encourages global unity, while honoring the struggle, strength and sensuality of women around the world. Proceeds are then shared with other nonprofits working to educate & empower women and girls. By supporting WomenMove, the power of your donation is multiplied.

• Why does WomenMove not have their 501(c)3 status yet?

According to the IRS they're running about 6 months behind on reviewing 501(c)3 applications due to the high volume of new nonprofits filing for tax exemption. Our application was professionally done, and we have the "proof of in-process" letter from the IRS, which we are happy to supply to any interested donors. WomenMove received nonprofit status in January of 2010. Our tax exempt application was received by the IRS on March 4th, and will be assigned to an agent for review this summer.

• Will my donation be tax-exempt?

Yes, once our 501(c)3 approval is granted, all donations to WomenMove starting from Jan. 2010 will qualify for tax exemption. Our application was professionally done, and we have full confidence that we will be approved, it’s just a matter of the IRS catching up. There is no need to delay, the tax-exemption status of your donation will be retroactive. We have the proof of ‘in-process’ letter from the IRS which we are happy to supply upon request to any interested donors.
