Reliability Tier2
Tier 2: a 26 September 2016 article from The NonProfit Times, a trade news publication covering the charitable sector, read directly, reporting that the Internal Revenue Service granted the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association's request, submitted 10 September 2015, to be reclassified as an association of churches by a determination letter dated 18 November 2015, exempting it from filing Form 990 in later years. The article carries no individual byline, attributed to the publication itself, and relays the organization's own stated fiscal year 2015 total revenue and expense figures alongside its stated reasons and its stated intent to keep publishing independent audits. A trade publication's direct reporting on a public IRS determination and the organization's own contemporaneous statement, not an independent audit of the figures themselves. Citation
