"As an international human rights network, ESCR-Net has not incorporated as an NGO or sought independent non-profit status in any particular country. For the operations of its Secretariat, currently based in New York City, ESCR-Net became a project of The Tides Center (www.tidescenter.org), a nonprofit public charity exempt from federal income tax under Sections 501 (c) 3 and 509 (a) 1of the Internal Revenue Code, in September 2004."
