Anyone know how to file for non-profit status? I belong to an emergency communications group and it's an all volunteer group who will handle communications in an emergency. Like during hurricaines, tornado's, terrorist acts, etc.. We use our own ham radio equipment and, as a group, would like to be able to accept donations. But, have you seen the paperwork the IRS gives you to file for the 501(c)(3)? You have to be a rocket scientist (or an accountant) to understand it!

Anyone know how to do this or is there an accountant that wants to do some pro bono work?

Do you have the Form 1023 yet?   While it's a good bit of work, the hardest part is usually the 3 year income/expense projections if you're a new entity.

No...Can't do LLC with a non-profit "group"..

Has to be a corporation

That's another problem is finding an attorney that'll do the corporation papers pro bono... My bro-in-law is an attorney, but he wouldn't even donate blood for free... (Then again, he's an attorney and therefore has NO blood other than that he has sucked from his clients!)

Difference between a lawyer and a arrogant rooster? The rooster clucks defiance!

j/k you wonderful lawyers out there..

No, no. Just wondering if you were going to be at the LLC meeting at ASU so that we might chat. Seems that I owe you a favor; what with the multi-state CCW and all.

e-mail me and I'll see what I can do to help out.

Naw, you don't owe me anything. But, I do need help. I will talk with the group and let you know what we come up with...

Thanks
