Re: non profit orgs:
starting a non profit org is certainly much more than $35 as listed below.
From reasearch I was doing, you have to draft up a
statement of purpose or
something like that, then there's a $500 fee payable to
the govt as well as
much more paperwork. doesnt seem too cost effective at first viewing.

Why can't you execute the paper work for a non-profit yourself? In RI,
it's $35.

Well, Delaware incorpoartion is another possibilty, and how difficult is
a statement of purpose? Check with another museum's and modify it
accordingly. You could copy from ours, for instance.

The paperwork for state-level creation of a non-profit, non-stock
corporation (like a club of some kind) is in the $50 range in most
states. The application for Federal USA-level non-profit status
in terms of the IRS is about $500.
I've been tempted by the latter. At one of my favorite haunts,
the UW-Madison surplus sale, they allow non-profits to buy on
Thursday - the public is allowed on Friday. First dibs!
However, if I ever re-sold something, I would be in trouble.

We paid an IRS fee of $150, but it took us 16 months to get approval.
