| 8 | For starters, tax-exempt organizations are exempt from paying taxes =) |

| 10 | More seriously, a lot of programs like Amazon Smile require their |
| 11 | participating organizations to be 501(c)(3). Right now I send that money |

| 16 | but it's probably the idea with the best return on investment. |
