I not only have an accountant, but I have an attorney. Some space(small & not official) and a few people who are willing to get started. I now need to start getting everything in order and start having some meetings, then get some real space.<br>
<br>I understand all spaces are different. I just feel that a 501c3 is much nicer for options in the future. donations, grants, getting equipment from companies, etc.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Oct 22, 2009 at 3:04 PM, Nick Farr (<a href="http://hackerspaces.org">hackerspaces.org</a>) <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:nick@hackerspaces.org">nick@hackerspaces.org</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>
This is the working draft of HacDC's application. (I just found out<br>
it's actually linked to Hive 13's):<br>
<br>

<br>
I believe Noisebridge has their full document package, including some<br>
correspondence with the IRS posted somewhere online, but I can't find<br>
it in my brief search for it...<br>
<br>
As a side note, I also want to reiterate Seth's point: Each<br>
Hackerspace is different, has different needs, goals, aims, etc...and<br>
needs to build an organization. I like to think that Hackerspaces in<br>
general are growing, evolving and seeking new forms and ways of<br>
forming that haven't even been thought of yet. Evolving and<br>
diversifying is perhaps the best way to ensure a sustainable future<br>
for what we've got going here.<br>
<br>
I think it's fabulous that you 1) Have an accountant and 2) Are having<br>
the discussion with your accountant on the proper organizational form<br>
for your group. Great work! Looking forward to hearing the story of<br>
your formation!<br>
