When filling out Part VIII line 1a of the 990 is there any specific criteria that help you determine if an organization is a federated fundraising agency? I've seen the IRS's definition and examples like the United Way.

I guess so ;a federated fundraising agency is a cooperative enterprise, owned and controlled by the nonprofit members, whose purpose is raising program and operating capital for each member agency. a federated fundraising agency to be a member, needs to file an application unless it is exempt.the id of the member agencyall include the licensure status of the member agency. If a member is subject to a licensure, a federated fundraising org will include the member name . Aslongas the member agency is exempt from licensure , a federated fundraising organization ‘d state the name of the exempt member agency. The agency serves as a contribution vehicle for donors to direct charitable dollars to the groups and issues about which they care. In general, new, small, or nonprofits with unique or offbeat missions are not included.
