Payments for services performed by an employee of a religious, charitable, educational, or other organization described in section 501(c)(3) that are generally subject to FICA (Social Security and Medicare) taxes if the payments are $100 or more for the year, are not subject to FUTA (unemployment) taxes.
How is Inurement different with a 501c6?
I assume your question is asking for a comparison of the insurement prohibition in section 501(c)(6) organizations with that for 501(c)(3) organizaitons. It is not different. It is prohibited for both. Neither organization may use any part of its net earnings to insure to the benefit of any private shareholder or individual. A section 501(c)(3) organization is, generally, a charitable one not organized for profit, and can include schools and sports to a certain extent. A section 501(c)(6) organization would include business leagues, chambers of commerce, real estate boards, boards of trade, and professional football leagues, which are not organized for profit. The principal difference between the two is the contributions to a 501(c)(3) generally are eligible for a charitable donation for the donor. Those to a 50(c)(6) are not eligible for a charitable donation -- although such contributions may be deductible as ordinary and necessary business expenses.
What are the federal tax requirements for a charitable organization?
Can be complicated, based upon how much you take in and what you do with it. There are many federal guidelines regarding how to file for the necessary tax exemption (e.g., 501(c)(3)) and what annual returns you must file, even if you do not actually owe any taxes. There are many types of charitable organizations, from churches and municipalities to private schools and humane societies.

Can I designate how I want a charity to use my donation and still receive a tax deduction for it?
Donations given directly or indirectly to a specific individual or purpose, known as designated gifts, are generally not tax deductible. When you donate to a qualified 501(c)(3) charitable organization, you can deduct both money and goods donations from your income taxes. However, specifying how your donation should be used may affect its tax deductibility. Consulting with a tax professional or the charity is advisable to understand the impact on your taxes.
Are fundraising donations and contributions to a 501c6 tax deductible?
Contributions to section 501(c)(6) organizations are not deductible as charitable contributions on the donor's federal income tax return. They may be deductible as trade or business expenses if ordi­nary and necessary in the conduct of the taxpayer's business.
