Organizations described in section 501(c)(3) are commonly referred to as charitable organizations. Organizations described in section 501(c)(3), other than testing for public safety organizations, are eligible to receive tax-deductible contributions in accordance with Code section 170.
http://www.irs.gov/charities/charitable/article/0,,id=96099,...
You may be interested to know that, in order to receive donations that are deductible you would need to have some articles of organization, like articles of incorporation or articles of association or trust document which is discussed starting on page 22 of www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p557.pdf
http://en.allexperts.com/q/Nonprofit-Law-2266/2009/1/Donatio...
You must contribute to a qualified tax-exempt organization. Charities will let you know if they have received their 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status. Some organizations are not required to obtain 501(c)(3) status from the IRS. These include churches and other religious organizations.
http://taxes.about.com/od/deductionscredits/a/CharityDonatio...
Most nonprofit organizations will make sure they are able to receive tax deductible donations.
For proper translation, it should be noted that the organization has achieved tax exemption status, which are typically charitable organizations. But since you cannot assume that status for any organization that calls itself charitable, the only correct translation would be to describe it as such. ANBI-status itself is Dutch.

IMI ANBI/Charitable Status
As of January 1st 2009, the Dutch Tax Service (Belastingdienst) has granted to IMI ANBI status. The Dutch abbreviation ANBI means Algemeen Nut Beogende Instellingen (Institution Aimed at the Common Good) refers to charitable, religious, humanistic, cultural and scientific institutions whose mission and operations are deemed by the Tax Service overwhelmingly to serve the Common Good.
The Dutch government implements a fiscal policy that encourages the donation of funds to causes that advance the Common Good. Apart from granting tax advantages to IMI, ANBI status also favors IMI's Sponsors, Contributors and Patrons in countries that grant tax concessions to foreign registered charities, as well as those based in the Netherlands. Sponsors, Contributors and Patrons who have made a donation to IMI may be able to deduct the amount from taxable income.

: Unless someone proves me wrong I don't believe NPO and ANBI are necessarily the same thing.//There may be (strong) similarities, but since ANBI is very much a Dutch thing, I'd be hesitant to translate it as such...

Thanks, Sindy. So in the US it would be a "501(c)(3) organization".

Eisen voor algemeen nut beogende instellingen (ANBI)
"Om als een ANBI aangewezen te kunnen worden, moeten het doel en de feitelijke werkzaamheden van de instelling voor 90% of meer een algemeen belang dienen. Een instelling mag dus geen particulier of individueel belang dienen. Onder andere sportverenigingen, personeelsverenigingen en commerciële instellingen zijn geen ANBI."
Op deze site: http://www.ing.nl/zakelijk/verenigingen-en-stichtingen/veren... vond ik vervolgens:
"Kenmerken charitatieve instelling
Een charitatieve organisatie wordt ook wel een Algemeen Nut Beogende Instelling (ANBI) genoemd. Het gaat hier om instellingen die zich inspannen voor een goed doel, bijvoorbeeld het Leger des Heils."
en verderop op dezelfde site:
"Voorwaarden voor een ANBI
Om een charitatieve instelling als ANBI aan te merken, moet deze aan bepaalde voorwaarden voldoen. U vindt deze voorwaarden op de website van de Belastingdienst. Alleen instellingen die de belastinginspecteur als goed doel aanmerkt, krijgen de status van een ANBI."
zie voorts: http://tinyurl.com/8xvo9co : 'wat is een ANBI?'
Volgens Wiki: http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-profit kan een non-profitorganisatie 'private' aangelegenheden ondersteunen. ANBI's dus per se niet.

Discussion
Er zijn hier m.i. verschillende mogelijkheden, maar Naomi heeft verder geen input gegeven. Wat mij betreft mag wel de "community grading" optie afgeschaft worden. Want mijn antwoord was automatisch gekozen en ingevoerd, en ik kan hem daarom wel wijzigen. Ik zou dus ook nog "read discussion" kunnen invullen, of helemaal niks, dus... (ps: mijn ANBI status zonder verbindingsstreepje moet je wel in het Engels uitspreken hoor).
Al was de vraag van de vragensteller wel voor een equivalent in het Engels.
I am now convinced: although ANBI's are indeed not-for-profit organisations, not every NPO is an ANBI.
Zo ja, dan klopt Lianne's antwoord. Maar ik heb zo mijn twijfels.
Er bestaan vele verenigingen die geen winstoogmerk hebben, maar toch niet in aanmerking komen voor ANBI-status...
