In the last couple months, Kathy has been busy working with the attorneys hired by the Mullin Foundation to get the necessary paperwork done in order to become an official bonafide non-profit organization. Finally on Tuesday, we received our official letter from the state of Iowa, declaring that we are a real non-profit corporation! Sigh of relief is in order! This is step one in becoming a non-profit that can accept donations and offer our donors a tax deduction. Step 2 is an exemption letter from the IRS, which is in process at this moment. We will let you know as soon as we hear anything.
I would like to thank Ashley E. at the attorneys office for doing all the hard legal work regarding this matter. It was pretty grueling getting the information together, but she had to put it in order and get it mailed in and for that I applaud her. The Mullin Foundation is amazing. Without them, we would NOT have been able to do this. I whined and cried on FB about the "poor little people like us" that don't have the money to apply for non-profit and someone offered the information about this wonderful foundation and it worked! I hope when I pass on, I can leave an amount of money so others can live out their passion for animal welfare.
