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 <https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/501c3app> &
Harford <http://wiki.harfordhackerspace.org/index.php?title=3DForm_1023>'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:
=95 For each past, present, or planned
activity, include information that answers
the following questions.
=95 What is the activity?
=95 Who conducts the activity?
=95 When is the activity conducted?
=95 Where is the activity conducted (for example: Los Angeles and
San Francisco, California)?
=95 How does the activity further your exempt purposes?
=95 What percentage of your total time is allocated to the activity?
=95 How is the activity funded? (This should agree with the financial data
in Part IX.)
=95 List any alternate names under which you operate, including any =93aka=
=94
(also known as) or =93dba=94 (doing business as)


The *501c3 Book* (email me if you want more info) recommends answering the
above IRS questions, and these regarding Section IV:
=95 What led to the formation of this group?
=95 When did the organization begin operations?
=95 When will the organization be fully operational?
=95 What does the organiza tion do?
=95 Who will carry on the activities of the organization?
=95 Will these individuals be paid staff or volunteers?
=95 What are their qualifications?
=95 How many people can the organization serve?
=95 Who is eligible to receive the organization's services?
=95 What steps will the organization take to determine eligibility?
=95 How will people hear about the program?
=95 Exactly what will the organization offer to eligible individuals?
=95 Will participants have to pay?  How much?  How was this amount determin=
ed?

Hope that helps!

Thanks!

 - Josh Williams
