News-Gazette - C-U at Home Approved as Tax-Exempt Charity

On June 13, we FINALLY received the letter we've been waiting 11 months for. It was our determination letter from the IRS indicating that C-U at Home is now officially a tax-exempt non-profit! Three very important things this will allow us now to do are: receive the donation of real property, hire employees, and offer tax receipts for all donated items including furniture and household goods. We recently hired a professional case manager for our residents. This case manager develops individual care plans and meets with each resident on a weekly basis, tracking progress and encouraging positive momentum.

Will you help us fund this new position?
