Are you fully registered as an organization ?

Clubs are forming everyday, but some aren't taking the time to do this correctly! This just cost one club over $5000!

Why!? When a company or agency donates to you or the club, they want tax credit for the donation. If you're not properly registered as a non-profit club, they don't get the credit. And that's just one aspect of getting it right!
