2005 Washington Revised Code RCW 66.24.375: "Society or organization" defined for certain purposes.
"Society or organization" as used in RCW 66.24.380 means a not-for-profit group organized and operated solely for charitable, religious, social, political, educational, civic, fraternal, athletic, or benevolent purposes. No portion of the profits from events sponsored by a not-for-profit group may be paid directly or indirectly to members, officers, directors, or trustees except for services performed for the organization. Any compensation paid to its officers and executives must be only for actual services and at levels comparable to the compensation for like positions within the state. A society or organization which is registered with the secretary of state or the federal internal revenue service as a nonprofit organization may submit such registration as proof that it is a not-for-profit group.
