An organization is operated exclusively for exempt purposes listed in Section 23701f and its net earnings are devoted exclusively to charitable purposes if that organization is a nonprofit public benefit corporation organized under Part 2 (commencing with Section 5110) of Division 2 of Title 1 of the Corporations Code, and if the specific and primary purpose for which the corporation is formed is to render financial assistance to government by financing, refinancing, acquiring, constructing, improving, leasing, selling, or otherwise conveying property of any kind to government. This financing ability shall be limited to the issuance of certificates of participation, or similar security arrangements.
For purposes of this section, “government” means the State of California, a city, city and county, county, school district, board of education, public corporation, hospital district, and any other special district.
An organization is not organized exclusively for the exempt purposes referred to in the first paragraph unless its assets are irrevocably dedicated to one or more purposes listed in Section 23701f.
Dedication of assets requires that in the event of dissolution of an organization or the impossibility of performing the specific organizational purposes, including default of lease payments, the assets would continue to be devoted to exempt purposes. Assets shall be deemed irrevocably dedicated to exempt purposes if the articles of organization provide that upon dissolution the assets will be distributed to an organization which is exempt under this section, Section 23701d, or Section 23701f, or under Section 501(c)(3) or Section 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code or to the federal government, or to a state or local government for public purposes; or by a provision in the articles of organization, satisfactory to the Franchise Tax Board, that the property will be distributed in trust for exempt purposes; or by establishing that the assets are irrevocably dedicated to exempt purposes by operation of law. Any organization that has had its exemption revoked by the Franchise Tax Board for failure to comply with Section 23701f may request a further review of its status under this section.
