reviewing our non profit app

Posted by on Nov 14, 2013 in Blog

I’ve continued reviewing the application and making any required changes. Along with the application we have to fill out Schedule B because we are a school. I’ve started filling it out.

Nonprofits schools are required to have a “Nondiscriminatory Policy as to Students”. I’ve added ours to the bylaws and will have them approved at our next board meeting.

Submitting registrations

Posted by on Nov 12, 2013 in Blog

  • I sent off the Oregon DOJ charitable organizations registration. They also wanted copies of the signed bylaws and articles of incorporation.
  • I’ve started work on IRS Form 1023, so we can be recognized as a 501(c)(3). The fee is $850. I’ve emailed the group asking if they can help out with the cost.
  • The IRS has a new interactive form for filling out Form 1023. It’s located at www.stayexempt.irs.gov/. I’ve completed the steps on this site and downloaded the interactive form.

Information from Lowell

Posted by on Nov 9, 2013 in Blog

I received an email from Walt Hanline the superintendent at Lowell this morning. It contained the following information:

  • He has asked an attorney (Andrea Hungerford) to review the proposal.
  • Walt and Andrea don’t believe that the charter proposal is complete.
  • Walt has asked Andrea to take the lead in negotiating/assisting me in completing the details that they will need to approve the charter.
  • He asked me to get in touch with Andrea.
  • Andrea has the authority to agree to the aspects of the proposal as Walt’s representative.
  • The goal is to update the proposal, so that it is complete and Walt can tell the board that he and Andrea recommend approval.

I emailed Walt letting him know that I would get in touch with Andrea.

Andrea and I have agreed to meet on Friday 11/5.

I received email confirmation of our filing with the State of Oregon Corporate division and our filed Articles of Incorporation.

I started the process of register with the Oregon Department of Justice as a charitable organization. Form RF-C has been completed. We are required to mail that in with a copy of our Articles of Incorporation and signed bylaws. I’ve created our bylaws and will get them signed during our board meeting this Sunday.
