The legitimacy of a 501c3 status would go a long way
to help this.
We applied for 501c3 status a year ago. The IRS is over a year behind
on processing these applications; ours hasn't come up for review yet.
We hope to hear from them in the next six months or so.
(For those many of you outside the USA, 501c3 status is a recognition
by the US government of non-profit educational/research status that
exempts the organization from payment of income tax on donations and
allows the giver to deduct some portion of their contribution from
their own personal income taxes.)
So far donations have been few and far between; we're still over a
thousand dollars in debt. I do thank those who have been generous.
