+====IRS definition====
 The IRS definition of 501(c)(3) organization is an organization whose charitable purpose falls into one of the following categories: (i) religious, educational, charitable, scientific, literary, testing for public safety, to foster national or international amateur sports competition, or prevention of cruelty to children or animals organizations; (ii) and, whose operations are restricted in the following ways: (a) dedicate assets to charitable purposes; (b) service public purposes; (c) participate insubstantially in social activities; (d) participate insubstantially in legislative activity; (e) do not engage in political activity (e.g. do not accept contributions or make expenditures for the purpose of influencing or attempting to influence the selection, nomination, election or appointment of an individual to a federal, state or local public office or office in a political organization.) Note that we may have to limit the definition of “nonprofit” to only nonprofits that have a educational, charitable, scientific, literary (ie. not religious) purpose.
