Our 501(c)3 is official!

We finally got approval from the IRS as a 501(c)3 public charity today! As it is retroactive, all previous donations will be tax-deductible. Those that have donated should be getting a more formal letter soon for their taxes.

Moving forward, we will be opening a standard bank account so we will be able to accept checks and other donations a whole lot easier. It has taken a while to get the status, but we are very happy about it. We will be applying for exempt status in California soon as well.

We are just getting started and things are already going quite well. Slow, but steady. Thank you all for your support!
