Leaving for the Dominican Republic

Aaron Tabor, the founder and president of Make A Change International, will be leaving for Peralta, Dominican Republic tomorrow morning with a group from Rush University.  He will be working with a group of surgeons in an area that Rush has been visiting for the past 10 years.  Be sure to check out his blog: http://aaron-makeachange.blogspot.com/ for updates!  If he has internet access while down there, he'll definitely be posting, but if not he will update it with posts when he's back.

501(c)(3) Federal Tax Exemption

Great news!  Today we received a notification from the IRS stating that Make A Change International, Inc was determined to be exempt from federal income tax under the IRC section 501(c)(3).  Donors can now deduct contributions they make to us under the IRC section 170.  We are also now qualified to receive tax deductible bequests, devises, transfers or gifts under Section 2055, 2106, or 2522.  We have been deemed a public charity.  Our Federal Identification Number (EIN) is: 47-1469744.

Filing for tax exemption

On August 11th we submitted our 1023EZ application for federal tax exemption.  The wait for approval should be about 4 weeks.  We will keep you all updated!  Becoming a 501(c)(3) organization will be huge for our fundraising efforts moving forward!
