The Sector in Two Halves

Row 1 — the frame: New Carlisle's nonprofit sector read off the Internal Revenue Service exempt-organizations register for this town, as of November 2026

Two halves: The nonprofit sector of the Town of New Carlisle, Olive Township, St. Joseph County, Indiana — population 1,891 in the 2020 census — is not one thing, and the federal register that counts it says so in its own structure. The first half is the charitable half: organizations the Internal Revenue Service classes as charitable, educational or religious organizations, the 501(c)(3) side of the register, where contributions are deductible and the work is relief, schooling, worship and care. The second half is the civic-fraternal half: the 501(c)(4) social-welfare organizations, the 501(c)(5) labor organization, the 501(c)(7)/(c)(8)/(c)(10)-type fraternal and title-holding forms, and the 501(c)(19) veterans' posts — bodies organized not for deductible charity but for members, for civic leagues, for fire protection, for the holding of a hall. This section tells the sector whole, as a corporate register; it does not retell what the build has already told elsewhere.

The veterans' posts are told in the Wars file, and this section takes only their exempt dates. What remains here, and what this section owns, is the corporate skeleton itself: which bodies exist as corporations and exempt organizations on this ground, under what class, and from what date.

One caution governs every article that follows. The register is kept by postal address, and the 46552 register reaches across Olive Township — to Hudson Lake, to Hamilton, to the rural routes on Chicago Trail, Timothy Road and Tulip Road — a wider ground than the town limits that hold the 1,891. A line in the register is a body with a New Carlisle address, not proof of a hall inside the town line, and the articles below print addresses where the register prints them so the reader can weigh each line at its true size.
