I understand what you’re saying but the tax code doesn’t make that case. It says it can’t benefit one “individual” but it doesn’t have any limitations I can think of that would stop, for example, a school for using it for the benefit of its students only

Imagine if a specific brand of tenis racket maker stayed a non profit to give subsidized tennis balls to underprivileged buyers of its rackets...

Or what if a for profit school started a nonprofit scholarship fund to help its students, like happens in nearly every school in the US? All 501c3

Ah, fascinating, I'm now super curious as to how they get around this. My guess is the 501c3 in theory at least is not school specific, combined with lax enforcement but I'm. Way out of my depth

I’m 99% certain there’s nothing wrong with having a 501c3 tied to benefit a specific subset of people tied to a for profit corp. the funds can’t benefit a single specific person, but obviously that’s different

They can't benefit a single specific legal person (the four profit) either. Which is where the concern with complementary comes in. If you are 99% sure then would you take a bet at 50:1 odds for 100 dolkars about this and we ask an accountant?
