Non-profits and managing money.

[Overyourhead]

Hey,

I'm a mentor for an FTC team. This year we have separated from the school in the town. In previous years all of our money from sponsors was managed through the school. Now that we are no longer associated with the school we need a way to manage our money. Also, we need to be able to be a non-profit for our sponsors can get their tax cuts.

I was wondering how teams that are not associated with a high school manage their money. Are you considered non-profits or 4-h clubs? If so, how did you go about filing the paper work for it?

Thanks!
