CFAR is a 501c(3) tax-exempt organization. The current team has indeed been running things from the beginning; it is simply that, prior to the beginning (prior to any paid staff; prior to me meeting Julia or Val or anyone; prior to deciding that there would be a CFAR), some folk filed for a non-profit “just in case” a CFAR ended up being launched, since the processing time required for getting 501c(3) status is large. We have not lost key staff.
Wow, speaking as someone who tried to start the papers for a non profit org, you really have dedicated people!
I’m going to take it on faith then that CFAR is more or less a legit non profit/etc. so I have 2 questions:
I read above about someone doing a monthly recurring thing and the entire amount being matched. What if I do $X (say, X = 100) now (where now = this week) and $Y (say, $200) at a later time for a total of $Z? I ask because my next paycheck (and possibly the one after that) are already accounted for but I want to make sure you get the most matching out of things possible. If necessary, I can put this in writing/sign/etc. I’d even be happy to provide some sort of small $Y that simply recurs monthly but I suspect that CFAR would be happier getting $Z by say, March instead of December 2014. :)
When will the next Form 990 be filed? I’d like to lose my faith as quickly as possible. :)
