A “tax exempt organization” shall refer to an organization described in Section 501 (c)(3) or 501 (d) of the Internal Revenue Code, Title 26 of the United States Code.

These discounted services may not be resold to, or shared with, any other non-qualifying organization or person.
NOTE: CTF was established in 1996 by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) and is solely funded by the California State Budget through an end-user surcharge on intrastate telecommunications services. CTF discounts are contingent on funds appropriated and available under the State Budget. Cruzio is not responsible for providing discounts in the instance where funding is exhausted, or the program is suspended by the CPUC.
