We need $400 in order to file for "charity" status.
What on earth are we talking about?
Well, we completed the filing necessary for IRS non-profit status back in September. That part is done. It was free to obtain an EIN and to request to file our taxes as a non-profit organization.
Yes, we are ALREADY an official Non-Profit Organization.
We are doing it right:
money comes in, then it goes right back out, almost immediately.
money comes in, then it goes right back out, almost immediately.
Everyone here is 100% volunteer. No one is getting paid. Not even the founder of the organization. There are very few expenses, actually it's just $10 per month for website expenses, and so far that is paid monthly from the founder's own pocket.
However, we CAN NOT PROVIDE A TAX-DEDUCTIBLE
DONATION RECEIPT to our donors...
YET.
And therefore donors are hesitant to give,
because they can't write it off on their taxes.
YET.
That's where we need YOUR help.
Won't you please help?
Thank you so much!
