SEC. 7. OTHER CONSIDERATIONS

If an organization furthers a charitable purpose such as relieving the poor and distressed, it nevertheless may fail to qualify for exemption because private interests of individuals with a financial stake in the project are furthered. For example, the role of a private developer or management company in the organization’s activities must be carefully scrutinized to ensure the absence of inurement or impermissible private benefit resulting from real property sales, development fees, or management contracts.
