Investigative News Network Granted 501(c)(3) Status
The Investigative News Network (INN) has been granted nonprofit 501(c)(3) status from the Internal Revenue Service. INN's new tax status will allow the organization to receive support directly from foundations and other donors, making it easier to help its member news organizations in producing and distributing reliable investigative and public service reporting. INN was formed during a conference at The Pocantico Center in June 2009.
