DownsEd USA receives tax exemption confirmation

Down Syndrome Education USA has now received confirmation that it is exempt from Federal income tax under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and donations, gifts and other contributions are tax deductible for US taxpayers.

Down Syndrome Education USA is a nonprofit, incorporated in California earlier this year to work to improve educational opportunities for young people with Down syndrome through scientific research and evidence-based information and support services. Down Syndrome Education USA works closely with Down Syndrome Education International – a leader in research and evidence-based approaches to effective developmental and educational support.

Together, DownsEd USA and DownsEd International work with families, teachers and therapists, researchers and support organisations in over 170 countries, helping over 100,000 people with Down syndrome to achieve more every year.
