More Than 50 Palm Desert Nonprofits Lose Tax Exempt Status

Dozens of Palm Desert nonprofit groups who failed to file a questionnaire three years in a row with the Internal Revenue Service have lost their tax-exempt status.

A list, which includes the Palm Desert Police Activities League and Friends of the College of the Desert, was posted this week by the IRS.

According to the IRS, donations made after June 9 to the organizations on the list won't be counted as tax-deductible.

Some of those on the list appear to be defunct. The list includes 55 from the city of Palm Desert.

For example, the Spirit for a New Generation Foundation is listed as inactive.
