Hey there!
Checked in with our content team and wanted to share this: We've just published a post on ou nonprofit vs. tax-exempt status and what it all means. Link below! In short, a 501(c)(3) grants exemption from federal income tax; to be exempt from state sales tax, you will need to check with the local agency that handles nonprofit status -- probably the corporations department, and it is likely your group will need to be incorporated within their state in order to become exempt from state taxes. (Although there might be some businesses that consider the 501(c)(3) determination letter good enough.)
Here's the link:
