USNA Out 501(c)(3) Status Update

One of the accomplishments that USNA Out can put under their belt for 2009 was the completion of the 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Charitable and Educational Organization filing with the Internal Revenue Service. This was the logical follow up step to gaining our incorporation in the State of Maryland last fall. The application is lengthy with over 50 pages of attachments. Thanks to Steve Clark Hall ’75, who when the package was complete, helped do a page by page review to ensure nothing was missed. We are hoping that the application will be approved without requiring supplemental information.

The application was mailed on December 28th to avoid a $100 increase in application fees that took effect in the beginning of 2010. USPS tracking shows that it arrived on January 4th, 2010. IRS guidance indicates that in will take two to three months for the approval process to run its course. Stay tuned….

Update as of Feb 1, 2010: IRS has sent an acknowledgment letter that states that a review of the application is underway and that we should receive a determination within 90 days. Stay tuned….
