Save the arts! Please read.?

This is kind of long, and if you don’t want to read it, thanks for at least checking the question out!

I’m The webpage curator for an organization called Fwacham! FILM & THEATRE Production Company ( glhaljordan.tripod.com ), And our goal is to provide family and FUN entertainment through acting to our community. We Now would like to involve kids in the area, ages six and up, To become involved in the processes of our shows, from tech to production, to being in the show. we want it to be a hands on learning and growing experience. we’ve recently decided to search for a government grant that might be able to help us to provide better equipment, and to ensure top quality for the kids. We want this to remain completely free for the kids, and this grant will allow us to do just that.

The grant we found requires our organization to be recognized as non profit tax exempt by the IRS. We don’t know how to do this. So PLEASE please please! Can anyone help us out? All we want to do is do our part to save the arts.

best advice is to contact a lawyer. and not a internet artists on here who probably does not know what they are talking about. see a real lawyer or maybe a cpa. (certified public account) but it will most likely have to be done by a lawyer

    Trust me–I am an expert–you need to contact a tax attorney and get the paperwork done for this project. It is not a major issue but you need proper legal advice.

    Read through the various links at http://www.irs.gov/charities/charitable/index.html

    Applying for and getting 501(c)3 status isn’t easy, and you will probably need professional help with it.
