Revenue Code (Rev. June 2006)

Part III. Required Provisions in Your

Organizing Document

Applicable to organizations in the state of New York. Changes are

necessary to comply with Rev. Proc. 82-2, 1982-1 C.B. 367, to

incorporate the state of New York as a jurisdiction that complies with

the cy pres doctrine to keep a charitable testamentary trust from

failing the requirement for a dissolution clause under Regulations

section 1.501(c)(3)-1(b)(4), when the language of the trust instrument

demonstrates a general intent to benet charity. Therefore, the

instructions on page 8, line 2c, after the third paragraph now include

the state of New York in the state listing as an authorized state. Since

the state of New York allows testamentary charitable trusts formed in

that state and the language in the trust instruments provides for a

general intent to benet charity, you do not need a specic provision

in your trust agreement or declaration of trust providing for the

distribution of assets upon dissolution.
