[K6BW] Nonprofit Application Fund

[Bill Smith]

Correction, the total application process is around $485.  Please disregard my references to State of California corporation application fees.  They are incorrect.

  Hi Joy,

  The amount requested is to pay state and federal filing fees required by
  state and federal agencies when filing the application(s).  Retaining
  professional help (aside from pro-bono) is not part of the appeal.  The
  State of California previously refunded application fees to corporations
  upon obtaining a 501-C3 status, but believe that policy has been changed.
  My understanding is the minimum filing fee to establish a State of
  California corporation is $485, and there are additional, smaller fees for
  related filings.  If you can help with the process, and/or know a way around
  filing fees, please let me know!

  Bill

  Why the $$$. Our local tennis league recently incorporated and then received
  non-profit status without need for professional help. The guidelines for
  same
  are on the Secretary of State's web page and there are many web sites you
  would
  find helpful. No need for something fancy. Just simple articles of
  incorporation. Get corporate status and then apply as a non profit.

  We are proceeding with a nonprofit application for the Hamilton Wireless
  Association, the organization that supports CERT Radio and Navy-Marine
  Corps. MARS (and the Hamilton Clubhouse at Building 549). If we can get 20
  donations of $30.00 or more, we can file the application. We need your
  support. Can you help?

  Please send a check written to:

  Hamilton Wireless Association
  PO Box 150635
  San Rafael, CA 94915-0635

  Indicate the check is for the Nonprofit fund.

  Please also consider joining the Hamilton Wireless Association. Regular
  annual dues are $25.00.

  Thank you!

  Sincerely,

  Bill Smith
