Ahhh, I see.. I'll have to ask the Person In Charge (tm) about that. We should be able to be counted as one, right?

Here is a good thread from CD about tax exempt status

Also this is the website for the IRS that covers 501(c)(3)

IANAL ( I am not a lawyer) so this is just my $0.02 worth.
Reach out to your community and find an accountant that will let you ask some basic questions. Explain what your needs are and see what they has to say. Their time helping you become a 501(c)3 is deductible for them also. It's a win-win.

All right - thank you SO much for the help :)

We're having our next meeting as a group on the following Tuesday.. I'll talk to her about all of this.

Again, a big, big thanks to all of you!! :)
