Abstract: 

Under the US tax system, a church is treated as a charitable organization for purposes of IRC § 501(c)(3). Donors are entitled to charitable contribution deductions for their contributions. Moreover, churches are also classified as public charities, so that foundations may make grants to them without further inquiry. A recent private letter ruling points out that not every organization that calls itself a church may be a qualified church for tax purposes, however.
