Guest Linda J Posted March 29, 2015 at 03:07 AM Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 at 03:07 AM To conform to local law the purpose of our bylaws must be amended to say that we are a charitable organization 501 c 3. As a religious organization we are considered nonprofit and charitable. Does the body need to vote to amend this change or can it just be changed because it is a given?

Richard Brown Posted March 29, 2015 at 03:15 AM Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 at 03:15 AM You must officially amend your bylaws following the procedure in your bylaws for amending them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstackpo Posted March 29, 2015 at 03:26 AM Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 at 03:26 AM Another way of answering Linda_J is to point out to her that she (collectively) is a religious organization because you say you are (or a higher authority [how high?] says you are) and that self-description is in your bylaws. It isn't a "given"; you have to adopt the description of yourself. From there to a 501©3 (IRS, Tax) classification is a legal, not parliamentary, question.
