They
DON'T have a 501--I posted the link to the IRS a couple of pages back so people could look for themselves
And the Sunbiz link is the paperwork they filed for their corporation--nowhere in them does it state that they have a 501--It only says what the rules are that if they were a 501 they would follow
It seems as if they applied for it...and are functioning in the meantime under another's status.
I'm gonna throw you all a bone:::NLH is using the 501 of Citylinks 4 Charities
