In everything I've read (which is a lot), I have never seen any hint
that these two issues are separate under any circumstances at all.  If
there were any situation in which an organization didn't have to pay
taxes, but people donating money to it did, then I think that would be a
significant enough thing so that the IRS would have made some mention of
it in one of their publications.  My understanding is that the "two
issues" are one and the same.

You're going to have to present at least a thread of evidence to support
your contention before I start believing that this is an issue that
needs clearing up.  It seems perfectly clear to me.
