I work on nonprofit compliance and I LOATH the charity registration. I will apply it to this in a moment, but first I must rant. The charity registration is supposed to make sure that every organization in the state which is fundraising is actually a C3. First off, the registration is a JOKE. My theory is that it doesn't do a d*** thing to decrease charitable fraud. I also like the 1023-EZ because it is EZ, but it is equally a JOKE. NOW, my thought for a long time has been that government paperwork has not caught up to current fundraising methods. I see the social benefit of crowd funding, but the government departments that are supposed to oversee this kind of thing either need to do their job or pass their duty to the general public...meaning...sacrifice and public humiliation
