[QUOTE="mlund, post: 4543675, member: 50304"] Ding. You win the Internets. Let me emphasize something that can't be emphasized enough: [B]if a non-profit does not strictly adhere to their bylaws the IRS can pull their tax exemption and shut them down.[/B] Sometimes that means you have rules or regulations that seem "silly," but jumping through a few hoops or having to pass on a few sponsorships is [B]nothing[/B] compared to the tragedy of suddenly leaving the people you support swinging in the breeze because you brought down the wrath of the IRS on the charity and now it is gone. We've got 8 active members on a good day in my fraternal organization non-profit. If we meet on the 2nd Tuesday of the month instead of the 1st Tuesday one too many times the I.R.S. can pull our tax exempt status. If we handle more than $2500 in revenue - even just as a collection point for distributing the money to a woman's shelter - we have to file special tax forms. We're also at high risk for an audit, and don't have the man hours to handle a full IRS audit nor the money to hire a CPA. Still think we need to get our "priorities straight?" - Marty Lund [/QUOTE]
