Re: Forming a non-profit versus being under a school's jurisdiction

FRC Team 4063 has it's own 501(c)3 non-profit status. I would like to add a couple things that I didn't see mentioned above.

Many times it is much easier to get donations from companies and organizations if they see your non-profit status.It allows them to deduct the value of most donations from their taxable income.

Check for accountants and lawyers that may be willing to donate their time and services to your team.

The benefits of our 501(c)3 are immeasurable.
