Not in depth -- the focus on Georgia was largely driven by the availability of an attorney who I knew and trusted and who generously gave of his time. Since there is, to my knowledge, nothing that ties Code4Lib to any particular state, I expect that if we decide to set up a 501(c)3 that we'd do a scan to find the most advantageous jurisdiction to register in. I should mention that I wouldn't want to preclude the possibility of registering as a Canadian nonprofit, but we did not investigate the legal issues that might arise from that option. > There's also the Tides Foundation in San Francisco that provides the > structure for a non-profit (staff, legal work, fiscal sponsorship, etc.) It > seems to be stable. > > http://www.tides.org/i-want-to/turn-my-vision-ideas-into-a-nonprofit-project/start-a-nonprofit-project/ > > http://www.tides.org/i-want-to/turn-my-vision-ideas-into-a-nonprofit-project/learn-about-fiscal-sponsorship-at-tides/service-overview/ Thank you for sharing this; I'll incorporate this this on the IG's resource list.
