FlagComposer Age Discrimination – Can a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization which relies on donations advertised as "tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law" be viewed as discriminatory in the eyes of the law if it holds music composer competitions and sets an arbitrary guideline prohibiting submissions from persons over the age of 35 particularly if the organization's mission statement is not specific to any age group but is of a general nature such as one stating "Our mission is to enrich the cultural vitality of the [sic] region and to offer a unique experience to exceptionally talented musicians."? How is denying composers older than age 35 helping to achieve this mission?
