text: Just also note that in a 501, all records become public record in the organization.So that means anyone can request documentation at anytime and that will put all of us in that. Hiw many, where located and lots of other info. And I say this to let u know about the 501c3 because our mc decided against running our own fir that exact reason. Because we are a law enforcement club, we have both active and former officers from state county city and military backgrounds that if we ran the 501, anyone could find out all of our info. (At least from in Tennessee.) Your state may have different state laws, but that is how it is understood here.There are good and bad to be a charitable organization.
