madmax4x4 68 Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 The Calguns Foundation received our official notification from the IRS that we have qualified for the tax exemption under 501 © (3) as a public charity. The notification was dated 8/14/2009 and is fully retroactive and applicable to all donations made to date. What this means for you: If you've ever donated to CGF, you can claim that donation as a tax exempt charitable donation or rest easily that your earlier exemption claim is correct. That treatment is retroactive to our founding in March of 2008. This also means that if you have a donation matching program at your employer, CGF is now fully qualified to receive those matching corporate donations. If you've held off to take advantage of your company's matching funds, now is the time to start that paperwork. We will be pulling together a "Thank you" letter campaign for anyone who exceeded $200 per calendar year in donations (which is the level above which you need documentation to take the deduction.) If anyone else who has donated needs or wants a thank you letter for their records, please email hoffmang@calgunsfoundation.org and we'll take care of it. This also brings up that there is no better time than now to donate to CGF. With cases like Sykes and Peña underway and our ongoing successful defenses of falsely accused gun owners, your donations go directly to the front line fight for gun rights! - Gene Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Calguns.net, as an entity, defends falsely accused gun owners in court? For real? I did not know this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bvamp 604 Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 This forum isnt set up the same way, and even though its a load of info here, its not exactly set up (ever) with the intention of a non for profit. good for them, though....they need a big dude with a baseball bat walking around backing them up out that way. That state has its head up its ass on gun rights, but it is a STATE thing, afterall. I think that its good that that site got tax exempt status. Their right to defend themselves situation over there really does suck, never mind their casual gun use rights. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
