Notice to Grantors and Contributors: The Council of Geographic Names Authorities (COGNA) in the United States is recognized as a 509 (a) (2) tax-exempt organization under section 501 (a) of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) tax code. The expenses of the COGNA and its annual conference must be covered by income from conference fees, contributions, gifts, royalties, and/or grants from interested individuals or organizations. It is our goal to have a representative from each State Geographic Names Authority attend the annual conference. Unfortunately each year many of the States are unable to send representatives to the conference due to budgetary restraints. In our efforts to meet the COGNA's goals, we seek help from grantors and contributors to assist in providing funds, thus enabling representatives who need assistance to attend. The COGNA has no paid employees; all funds are used for meeting our goals. All donations are tax deductible as defined by IRS regulations. As required by IRS regulations the Constitution, Bylaws, Application for Recognition of Exemption, Letter of Determination, and Annual Information Returns for the COGNA have been placed here for public inspection.
