Policy for nonprofits

For Brittanee Barton's blog to cover a nonprofit story, it is necessary to know the tax exempt status of the organization because many events involve the donation of money. In addition, audits and 990 forms will be examined. The Better Business Bureau and IRS will be checked for complaints about the organization. The agency or entity submitting the press release should include contact information for major players, such as the executive director of the organization, as well as a brief background of the organization. This is much enhanced by the inclusion of a brochure explaining the organization's mission statement and outcomes. Brittanee Barton's blog will use this information to ensure coverage of a reputable cause, not just an event.
