On November 24, PTSD Relief Now and its Africa projects, African PTSD Relief, gained 501 (c) (3) status with the US Internal Revenue Service. PTSD Relief Now was founded as an Iowa Non-profit corporation on July 27, 2013. Now donors receive the US Federal tax benefits of giving to this non-profit public charity. Previously, donors have given through the 501 (c) (3) David Lynch Foundation to support PTSD Relief Now activities. Soon, direct donations to PTSD Relief Now will be possible as well.
