Applying for 501(c) 3 Non-Profit Status
Applying for 501(c) 3 Non-Profit Status
For anyone interested, the reason I am not yet a 501c3 non-profit is not because everything isn't strictly for Veterans - it's this -"it may not attempt to influence legislation as a substantial part of its activities and it may not participate in any campaign activity for or against political candidates." I am very involved in expressing that treason is unacceptable and that Our Constitution must be followed. I don't participate "for" candidates, but I'm very vocal "against". I do have all financial records available.
This topic is similar to keeping religion separate from what I do for Veterans. Saint Michael is designated as a protector of all soldiers, but in Christian and some other religions, not all. But the real issue is how does a non-profit keep its mouth shut when I see unfairness?
Of course all Veterans are to be treated equally-But when I see political people using those same Veterans, how is it wrong to advocate for the unfairness to stop? It's a difficult path to discern when I am an advocate and when I am just being opinionated,sometimes. I am working on it.
Going back to the text quoted as far as qualifying for a 501(c)3 status, I have never campaigned either for or against any candidate. Not in my life, I don't think. I do use The Constitution as my roadmap for what is lawful, unlawful, fair or unfair.
