Organization of America and the American Zionist Fund remain tax deductible, as heretofore under the recently issued Internal Revenue Service regulation concerning the deductibility of charitable contributions to American philanthropic organizations with overseas programs, it was announced today by Carol Picket, national chairman of the Finance Committee of the ZOA.
