[Michlib-l] Libraries with 501(c)(3) status

[Rebecca Higgerson]

In our current Strategic Plan, we were asked to investigate 501(c)(3)
status for our library.  For those of you who have done this, I would
appreciate getting some feedback:



1.       Did you pay an attorney?

2.       Did you use free legal assistance?

3.       How long did the process take?

4.       What are the pros in being a 501(c)(3)?

5.       Are there cons in being a 501(c)(3)?

6.       Is your Friends group a 501(c)(3)?

7.       In retrospect, are you glad your library is a 501(c)(3)?

8.       Is the ROI worth it?



Thanks in advance!
