Our 'Status'

Our nonprofit incorporation with the state of Washington has been processed and approved, and our IRS paperwork has been filed. Federal tax exemption can take several months to process, and in some cases over two years, but hopefully ours will proceed quickly and without incident. We also asked for expedited processing, which we're hoping we'll receive.

We're very close to being able to accept online donations via PayPal. Their verification process for nonprofits requires a lot of different forms, some of which we don't have from the IRS yet, but we're confident that we'll either get it worked out with them, or we'll set up a merchant account with our bank that allows us to process credit cards over the Internet.
