IANAL, but: https://www.irs.gov/charities-non-profits/tax-law-compliance-before-exempt-status-is-recognized and https://www.irs.gov/charities-non-profits/charitable-organizations/contributions-to-organization-with-irs-application-pending Seems to imply that 2016 contributions would be safe (as long as the MICE legal entity was planning on filing a 990 for 2016 for income/donations received). -- Andrew Hoyos [log in to unmask]
