Private inurement is benefit flowing to insiders (officers, directors, key employees); it is an absolute prohibition. Private benefit is benefit to outsiders that is more than incidental to the exempt purpose; it is a question of degree. Both can revoke exemption, but the legal analysis differs.
Insider transactions trigger automatic intermediate sanctions even when the exemption survives. Outsider benefit triggers a facts-and-circumstances analysis. Distinguishing them shapes the defense.
Negligent-screening claims arise not from failing to have a screening policy, but from failing to follow the policy that exists. A documented policy with inconsistent enforcement is harder to defend than no policy at all, because the deviation is evidence of negligence.
Insurance carriers tighten coverage on organizations with screening-process gaps. The cost of consistent enforcement is small; the cost of a single uninvestigated incident can close the organization.
Most states require charities soliciting donations from their residents to register before solicitation, regardless of where the charity is based. "Solicitation" includes web fundraising pages accessible to residents, not just direct mail. Compliance gaps surface during state attorney-general inquiries or unrelated litigation discovery.
Penalties range from civil fines to suspension of solicitation rights in the state. Larger consequences include negative coverage in donor research databases that fund foundation grants.
