C. These attributes are:

-- Mission to provide community benefit
-- Use of financial surpluses to further the organization's charitable
purpose
-- Board accountability to the community
-- Provision of charity care
-- Reduction of government healthcare burden
-- Provision of essential healthcare services
-- Provision of unprofitable services
-- Public education
-- Serving related, unmet human needs
-- Goodwill

The P+P Board believes healthcare providers should identify, measure, and
prominently disclose all the attributes of their organizations that warrant
tax-exempt status. Many critics of tax-exemption focus on only one attribute,
ignoring the cumulative effect of activities that make tax-exemption
appropriate.

"By giving
students a personal reason to learn through involvement in community-based
experiences we hope to facilitate critical thinking and communication skills
that are necessary for responsible citizenry and civic engagement in the local

faculty attends monthly meetings, workshops and an annual First-Year Program
faculty retreat. The P+P Board built on these attributes in light of
the current environment. Members' positions include chief executive officer,
chief financial officer, controller, patient accounts manager, accountant , and

The monograph, P+P Board Issue Analysis 05-01: The Relationship of Community
Benefit to Hospital Tax-Exempt Status, consolidates IRS positions to date on
the role of community benefit in determining tax-exempt status, describes the
wide array of charitable community benefits, and recommends practices on how
to quantify and communicate those benefits.
Because tax-exempt healthcare organizations are formed to address needs
within their specific communities, the exempt organization's attributes that
merit tax-exemption are not standard across all institutions. For more information, visit
