There are a lot of requirements for non-profit organizations. If there is a lack of support or membership then it falls by the wayside. If that happens the government is not losing money because there was no money to support the reason for the non-profit. Non-profits require a President, Vice President, Treasurer, Secretary and members to hold monthly meetings. Then someone to run fund raisers to support what the organization is trying to do. Now days no one wants to actually volunteer or join something and DO ANY WORK. Sure they love to say they are part of something but they don’t actually want to participate on a regular basis. Personally, I think that is why so many fail.

If these are businesses that did not get their paperwork in for tax exempt, think of how many did but really do not need to be tax exempt. This is just in our area. How many across the country? No wonder our government has no money.

REGARDING:
“why would a daycare be tax exempt?”

If it were started and run for non profit purposes, it would likely qualify.

Many churches start such things, not to make money but as a service to the community. Most if not all of the above were formed as public service.

Never realized there were so many organizations that are tax exempt and these are just a few of them. Seems like it would have been easy to take 15 minutes and fill out a form in the last three years to keep it. I would have if it kept me from paying.
