What is exempt purpose as set forth in IRS Code Section 501(c)(3)?

The Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3) has clearly specified what activities it considers as 'exempt purposes'. These are as follows;

"charitable, religious, educational, scientific, literary, testing for public safety, fostering national or international amateur sports competition, and preventing cruelty to children or animals. The term charitable is used in its generally accepted legal sense and includes relief of the poor, the distressed, or the underprivileged; advancement of religion; advancement of education or science; erecting or maintaining public buildings, monuments, or works; lessening the burdens of government; lessening neighborhood tensions; eliminating prejudice and discrimination; defending human and civil rights secured by law; and combating community deterioration and juvenile delinquency".
