Re: [ga] FUNDING

Dave:

    I am surprised that you stepped in this. I do refer to the IRS "Support
Test". A very simple test of several, required by the IRS.

                                Qualified Support
                                _____________     = Minimum %

                                Total Support

This is just one test, their are others that define Qualified Support.

Sigh.  Another red herring.

The IRS does not require any minimimum contribution or donation level for a
501(c)(3) tax-exempt status.

The criteria related to tax-exempt status are varied and somewhat complex,
but donations, per se, are not particularly relevant.

This assessment is based on:

         a) 8 years running a 501(c)(3) that charges fees; though it gets
donations, the percentage has never been an issue; and

         b) A quick review of Nolo Press' The California Nonprofit
Corporation Handbook, by Anthony Mancuso.
