If you ever wanted to set up a Sage non-profit (if you didn't already)
it might be easy to do it now.
(But my hunch is that NumFOCUS is happy to tunnel through donations to
Sage as part of their own operation too, so it's probably no reason to
do it. Just in case.)

Subject: 501(c)(3) Group Exemption

I'm working on the NumFOCUS 501(c)(3) application and as well as
applying for our own tax exempt status, we are able to apply for a Group
Exemption. This is where the IRS recognizes a group of organizations as
tax exempt if they are affiliated with a central organization. This
avoids the need for each to apply for their own 501(c)(3) exemption,
which as you may know is a very lengthy process. A group letter has the
same effect as an individual exemption letter.
We need to know who would be interested in being a subordinate
organization under NumFOCUS. This requires your group to have an EIN
number, an identification number the IRS uses for businesses and
nonprofits. Having an EIN number does not mean you have to have
employees. It's easy to get one online.
Let me know if you need more information.
