The philosophy with the 1023 is to analyze all edge cases in depth and approve activities before the organization begins their operations as a nonprofit, where the philosophy with the 1023ez is to get organizations not likely to be a problem a fast start, approving first and analyzing activities in depth as it becomes necessary.

Definitely consult a professional on this though.

Oooh, three years out huh? I could see us with 12-24 months under the $50,000 cap, and (hopefully) surpassing that about two years after establishing the organization. Hrrmmm.

Thanks for the help though. This has been VERY informational.
