We received written confirmation in December 2008 that we became incorporated as a non-profit organization in the State of Illinois as of June 2008. We are incorporated in Illinois because we applied through the DBSA national organization, which is in Chicago, and they handled all the paperwork for us. Our certification as a 501(c)3 organizaion, which will allow us to accept donations that donors can exempt from the Federal Income Tax, is pending with the IRS.
