  "description": "A 501(c)(6) business league is a type of non-profit organization recognized under U.S. tax law. It is an association of persons having some common business interest, the purpose of which is to promote the common business interest and not to engage in a regular business of a kind ordinarily carried on for profit. Its activities are directed to the improvement of business conditions of one or more lines of business, rather than to the performance of particular services for individual persons. Examples include chambers of commerce, boards of trade, and professional associations.",
