501(c)(19) Non-profit organization

A 501(c)(19) is a specific type of nonprofit organization in the United States designed for veterans' groups, such as military amity or honor organizations. These groups typically serve current or former members of the armed forces, providing community support, advocacy, and charitable activities related to military service. They are recognized by the IRS for tax-exempt status, meaning they don't pay certain taxes and can receive tax-deductible donations. This classification helps distinguish them from other nonprofits by their focus on serving veterans and promoting military-related interests.
