I got the letter today from Lois G. Lerner, Director of Exempt Organizations Rulings and Agreements for the Internal Revenue Service. It says that as of today, we will be viewed as a 501(c)3 organization! We're excited, since we didn't expect the process to go this quickly.
This opens up a lot more possibilities for books, since now publishers and bookstores can donate and recieve tax credit. We can also approach foundations and others who want to get involved in Honduras.
In other news, we just bought the Lord of the Rings set in Spanish, among other books. I'm still working to get the book list online.
