501c3 Submission Process - Help Needed : )

[Josh Williams]

Hey Gang, 

 My goal this week is to wrap up the AHA Financials. Can some people take a shot at Section IV: Narrative Description of Your Activities for the 501c3 App? See examples of Noisebridge & Harford's application (they were both approved). Here is our application so far:  http://wiki.allhandsactive.com/501c3_Submission

Here are the specific requirements:

The 501c3 Instructions ask these questions regarding Section IV:
• For each past, present, or planned
activity, include information that answers
the following questions.
• What is the activity?
• Who conducts the activity?
• When is the activity conducted?
• Where is the activity conducted (for example: Los Angeles and San Francisco, California)?
• How does the activity further your exempt purposes?
• What percentage of your total time is allocated to the activity?
• How is the activity funded? (This should agree with the financial data in Part IX.)
• List any alternate names under which you operate, including any “aka” (also known as) or “dba” (doing business as)


The 501c3 Book (email me if you want more info) recommends answering the above IRS questions, and these regarding Section IV:
• What led to the formation of this group?
• When did the organization begin operations? 
• When will the organization be fully operational?  
• What does the organiza tion do?
• Who will carry on the activities of the organization?  
• Will these individuals be paid staff or volunteers?
• What are their qualifications?
• How many people can the organization serve?
• Who is eligible to receive the organization's services? 
• What steps will the organization take to determine eligibility?
• How will people hear about the program?
• Exactly what will the organization offer to eligible individuals?
• Will participants have to pay?  How much?  How was this amount determined?

Hope that helps! 

Thanks!

I am sure it will look good if we include it, both in terms of things already done and in terms of things with concrete plans. 

I have no time to devote to writing until after the weekend of Aug 18 at the earliest but hereby officially volunteer to edit and red ink the crap out of anything that gets sent to me. 

Mike.
