"We are excited and grateful about receiving official 501(c)3 status for Operation: Coming Home from the IRS," said Rich Van Tassel, member of Operation: Coming Home's board of directors and president of Royal Oaks Building Group. "This will be a tremendous help to us as we raise funds in advance of our donation of a third home to a disabled veteran later this year. Now, donors will know their gifts will produce the maximum results for their dollars on this project, as well as not penalize them when tax filing arrives in 2012."
