Guest guest Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 I will look into what is entailed in creating a 501 C3. If anyone out there has experience with non-profits, please chime in! I have none whatsoever. Would be nice if we could use 20/20 as a platform to ask for contributions and advice, if that is not inappropriate. May not be time though at this late date. I think the time is right. My feeling is that after 20/20 there could be a groundswell of ideas, opinions and possible resources but there needs to be a place to put it all. Here is fine for starters, but it needs to be organized and have a plan and leadership.I am willing to give a fair amount of my time.

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 http://www.wikihow.com/Start-a-501c3-Nonprofit-OrganizationI found this info online. This would be a process and take a considerable amount of financial and human resources. But I think it is very possible to do if there is enough interest here.

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 How exciting! I can donate the domain names:misophonia.commisophonia.netto the nonprofit, if the (not-yet-formed) board decides they are interested in them.

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 I'm a Canadian so I don't think I can help set up the 501C, but I will gladly contribute $ to the association. How exciting! I can donate the domain names: misophonia.com misophonia.net to the nonprofit, if the (not-yet-formed) board decides they are interested in them.
