A 501c3 is a "not for profit" organization. if we could collect enough dues from members to come up with the 300$ filing fee (thats a yearly cost) and file the papers to obtain non profit status, we could recieve AMAZING discounts on things like VENUE RENTAL for our meets (using those awesome college auditoriums with 400amps of 3 phase power)
i guarantee that the money we would save the 300&$ yearly cost at the first big meet. that means purchasing anything related to lasers and the actual laser meet, you buy tax free
This is for the US members (sorry Europe)
Anyone with ANY experience in this area should look into helping us out.. its majorly worth it.
