It might seem like a random tax code but its actually very important. On August 6th 2007, the IRS granted us 501(c)(3) Public Charity status! We found out on Thursday and we’re thrilled to announce it to everyone!
Gateway to Gov, Inc. is now a federally recognized public good corporation. In our petition to the IRS, we have legally established the following:
Part IV, Narrative Description of Activities: This organization will establish and maintain a website dedicated to promoting civic discussion and enhancing communication between constituents and their elected representatives. This organization is completely non-partisan and will not endorse candidates or participate in lobbying or issue advocacy. This organization will provide a platform for a wide-range of civic discussion, but as the host will remain completely neutral and will not endorse specific candidates, political parties or legislation.
Many thanks to my fellow co-founders and huge thank you to Fran Panich, our *fantastic* accountant, for her filing assistance!
