| Significant program services not listed on prior year return Part III line 2 | The purpose of Australians in Film is to promote Australian talent and film industry. When the organization was established recognition was erronously sought as a social club under 501(c)(7) rather than a business league under Section 501(c)(6). There have been no changes to the organization's legal structure which would require the filing of a new Application for Recognition of Exemption Under Section 501(a). Since the IRS exempt organizations determinations unit no longer issues letters regarding material changes in an organization's character, but instead requires these changes to be reported on the Annual Return of Oranization Exempt from Income Tax, we are including a discussion of this issue on the 2013 Form 990. The organization's purpose and its activities are clearly designed to promote the common business inter interests of its members. The periodic screenings of films, shorts, documentaries and television programs produced in Australia, the United States and elsewhere which features contributions by Australian actors, directors, producers and individuals in various allied crafts provide significant publicity for Australian talent. They also provide networking opportunities for members enabling them to build relationships and share information with others in the entertainment industry. These screenings enhance business and professional opportunties for the organization's members. The organization also conducts various seminars, panels and workshops for members to enhance their knowledge of the entertainment industry and improve their skills. These educational opportunties enable members to promote their projects and advance their careers.In most years the organization also has an awards dinner celebrating the accomplishments of Australins in the entertainment industry. This event receives extensive media coverage which promotes Australin talent in the industry.The purpose and the activities of Australians in Film promote the common business interests of the members rather than merely providing an opportunity to socialize. the orgnization is organized and operated as a 501(c)(6) organization |
