Again, people are mixing up 501 c 3 status and employee identification numbers. They are two totally different things. We do want separate EINs but we do not want separate 501 c 3 status for our divisions or chapters. Once you are a 501 c 3 there are all kinds of government requirements including the filing of 990s. If anyone has specific questions please call me. We do not want to confuse people on this list. <br><br>I fear that this list conversation is going to cause more questions than answer questions. This stuff gets complicated and confusing andit would be best if I could walk people through it as they have specific inquiries. <br><br><br>-----Original Message-----<br>From: Cash-and-Caring [<a href="mailto:cash-and-caring-bounces@nfbnet.org">mailto:cash-and-caring-bounces@nfbnet.org</a>] On Behalf Of Dacia Cole via Cash-and-Caring<br>Sent: Thursday, March 09, 2017 8:33 AM<br>To: Fund-raising assistance for Chapters and Affiliates<br>Cc: Dacia Cole<br>Subject: Re: [Cash-and-caring] Question about fundraising when your division doesn't have a 501(C3) tax letter?<br><br>Well something I'm not sure I mentioned, but I'm asking these questions on behalf of a national division not one for a specific state.<br><br>Dacia<br><br><br>On 3/9/17, Everett Gavel via Cash-and-Caring <<a href="mailto:cash-and-caring@nfbnet.org">cash-and-caring@nfbnet.org</a>> wrote:<br>> Hi Bridgit, and All<br>><br>> My memory is about as good as my eyesight these days, so please <br>> forgive me if I’m wrong here.
