NYCPHP Meetup

[Paul Guba]

I am actually a trustee for a non profit group.  Registration is the  
hardest part and really requires a lawyer.  However there are some  
responsibilities as you are basically forming a corporation.  There  
are officers and boards.  They have legal responsibilities.  Filing is  
less complicated if your gross donations are less the $25000 per year  
probably your case. Book keeping is no more complicated than any other  
business good accounting principles apply most every where. Google Pro  
bono partnership it is a good place to seek representation for non  
profits, also google legal responsibilities of non profit trustees.   
It is not a simple process and you'll need to consider if it is  
something worth while for your group to do.
