Since the WhatGives!? Donation App runs through PayPal, we have to follow their requirements that all users be able to provide 501c3 paperwork to be approved as nonprofit organizations on the platform. It's easy to apply once you have that documentation. If you have any further questions about setting up your app, please don't hesitate to email us at donationapp@whatgives.com Good luck! Hi, Kate!

We are starting up and by Monday we will be a non profit corporation but will NOT have 501c3 status yet. Do we need to wait for 501c3 before we do this? Thanks!

]]> Comment on Free Speech, Political Correctness, and Nonprofits by Natasha http://www.whatgives.com/2011/11/09/free-speech-political-correctness-and-nonprofits/comment-page-1/#comment-28490 Natasha Mon, 14 Nov 2011 03:18:57 +0000 http://www.whatgives.com/?p=12687#comment-28490 "Now let me contrast that by saying that I’ve spent my whole life working in the performing and literary arts. Those are often irreverent worlds. Part of me wants to say that it’s just a word. I hate political correctness. I think it’s usually absurd. Everyone should learn to take things in context. Almost everything that comes out of your mouth could conceivably offend someone somewhere, and you can’t live your life walking on eggshells. That part of me wants to say “get over it.”" I've never agreed with something more than this. However, I love how you make this so practical. People will jump down your throat for an ideological issue, but when it comes down to it, you just don't want to piss people off. So true. Everything you do is a representation of yourself and can build or destroy your reputation!
