| We have been in the process to change from our granted 501(c)6 to a
501(c)3 status for...well...years. The classification really makes no
functional difference in how we operate so is not much of an issue.
The primary difference would be in the manner by which we attain
funds. If we desired to solicit donations, we would be required to
achieve the 501(c)3 status. Since all of our funding comes for
certification fees, the 501(c)6 status is adequate.
I dropped the "pending" statement on our website some time ago
because the pending 501(c)3 classification could go on virtually
forever. Nothing stated on our website regarding our federal
nonprofit status is or has been inaccurate.
Are there any other mole hills that you would like to attempt to make
into a mountain?
