4. Non-Profit/501(c)(3) status - Tom Macisso

We now have official 501(c)(3) status! Thanks to Debbi for all of her hard work on this.

There is now a link on our webpage to our non-profit accreditation letter by clicking on the 501c3 icon...if any organization needs proof of non-profit status when donating to our group.

​We do need to find out what type of documentation we need to make of donations and what type of letter/form we need to give businesses/individuals who give to our organization.
