-- Posted by GodsFireAngel at 3:39 pm on Feb. 27, 2007 I want to start up a not for profit organization so I can get donations in America with tax deductible donations, you know those 501 c 3 things. Anyone have any idea how I go about doing this? -- Posted by thissitesucks at 3:42 pm on Feb. 27, 2007 it's so fucking hard, not even livewire was able to do it, and it is pretty huge -- Posted by GodsFireAngel at 5:50 pm on Feb. 27, 2007 livewire isn't a non-profit 501 c 3? -- Posted by thissitesucks at 8:44 pm on Feb. 28, 2007 Quote: from GodsFireAngel at 5:50 pm on Feb. 27, 2007 livewire isn't a non-profit 501 c 3? Nope, cause Dave earns money on the side from it. He applied it for it, he got rejected. -- Posted by GodsFireAngel at 4:37 pm on Mar. 1, 2007 Quote: from thissitesucks at 3:44 pm on Mar. 1, 2007 Quote: from GodsFireAngel at 5:50 pm on Feb. 27, 2007 livewire isn't a non-profit 501 c 3?

You are allowed to reimburse employees of a 501 c 3 though aren't you? how do you know this anyway? -- Posted by PopArtsy at 12:44 pm on Mar. 2, 2007 it is probably pretty hard, i think you have to apply for it -- Posted by Ryan Potter at 9:37 pm on Mar. 2, 2007 Who does the organization help? -- Posted by GodsFireAngel at 3:33 pm on Mar. 3, 2007 It helps refugees from Darfur settle in the western world -- Posted by Ryan Potter at 12:35 am on Mar. 4, 2007 I quickly Googled it and found an article about it: http://www.managementhelp.org/strt_org/strt_np/strt_np.htm I hope that helps! -- Posted by GodsFireAngel at 3:29 pm on Mar. 6, 2007 thanks, anyone else? -- Posted by goodman at 12:54 am on Mar. 7, 2007 Consult a lawyer.
