What is the name of your state? florida
Hello about 6 months ago I paid to be incorporated and thought that I was also going to be a legal 501 c 3, the company that did all our paperwork never really told me that we were not a legal non profit infact the state of florida told us we could not solicate for funds until we got the proper paperwork from the us treasury department worked out first.
Well for 6 months I was running a program similar to habitat for humanity thinking that we were a non profit and collecting downpayments on homes that would be built by the familys that signed up for the program.
Now my problem is how can my corporation still run this type of business and do it legally? I am taking off the 501 c 3 from all our websites and stationary so as not to confuse anyone.
Now is it legal for me to offer people a chance to sign up for our housing program where they help each other build each others homes still?
We were collecting 2500 dollars per family and pooling the funds to buy land, building materials, permits, sub contractors and to pay my salary as well, is there a way to reprhase what we are doing to make this legal.
The media is all over me for this and I want to make this work as its a very worthy cause to help low to middle income families own there own house.
Im begging for help here in florida please I dont want to give up im not a quitter thats why im here so if you can help please email or leave a post here.
Sincerly
