A CLS chapter falls under the CLS umbrella for tax exempt status if they fill out the affiliation forms and indicate their willingness to be included in the CLS group exemption letter. The CLS chapter must first obtain an EIN number, fill out all necessary paperwork included in the CLS chapter manual, before contacting the Membership department to receive the exemption letter from the IRS.

For questions, please contact Brent McBurney, Director, Membership Ministries, at 703-642-1070 or by email at bmcburney@clsnet.org.
