I know it is a tax classification, and that classification is given to organizations whose primary purpose is social. Thus I suspect that the Dept. of Ed. does consider the tax classification in determining exemptions. And I was merely confirming your thought that although we say we are service organizations, in the eyes of the IRS we are social organizations. Jeez.
