: I've included the last email on this subject below: : This will be my last post on this subject on the mail list and then for : the future on this I will switch to the forum. It is just that I need to : run out of the door in a couple of minutes and this is much faster than : my browser. : : I think it didn't cost anywhere near $1500 to become non-profit here in : IL. I think it was more like just a few hundred. Anyway, as I said : before, I have a friend who just went through this process and has a : non-profit status for her teen center (in the meantime I am sure she : would let me use her status if neccessary as an umbrella to fundraise and : to use her non-profit mailing privledges). I will post the specifics of : would let me use her status if neccessary as an umbrella to fundraise and : to use her non-profit mailing privledges). I will post the specifics of : her process as soon as I can get the details. I might not see her for : about 7 -10 days (she lives way out in the country and I am going to be : out of town for work). I want to have an in-person meeting on the matter : before I post further. When I have the details I will post them to the : forum. At any rate, her story of going through it in IL should at least : give everyone some insight into getting started on the process. : : Somehow I also think incorporated states could merge at some point. I am : sure this wouldn't be the first time something like this has been done. : Actually, we would all have more non-profit savvy at that point anyway.... : : Lisa
