[hackerspaces] US hackerspaces - corporation formation and 501(c)3 status

[Mitch Altman]

Yay -- congrats on your new corporation!  And your temporary garage.  Soon you'll outgrow that garage, so best of luck on your space hunting.

 

 

At Noisebridge we also went the 501(c)(3) route.  We got a bunch of questions back from the IRS examiner, and answered them all last week.  We should hear back soon.

 

 

We'd be happy to share all of our work with any and all hacker spaces who'd could benefit from what we've done.

 

 

Mitch.
