Everyone,
Here are some very important updates.
Vintage Computer Federation, a 501(c)3 federal non-profit, is documented by the IRS at http://tinyurl.com/pmvrur7.
We are working on expanding our presence in popular sites such as GuideStar, Charity Navigator, and wherever it seems appropriate. Our fiscal year ends June 30. At that time, we'll make a public financial report as required by federal law.
However, with the calendar year ending in less than two months, now is an excellent time for everyone to consider donating to us! You'll receive a form to complete. You keep a copy, give another to us, and the third to your tax preparer.
Where would your donation go?
Lots of places. It costs money to (for example) build our new museum exhibits, conduct 'rescues' of vintage computers, host the Vintage Computer Festival East, bring our exhibits to other events, get supplies for workshops and Festivus, keep the storage warehouse organized, maintain our (coming soon!) new web site, pay various accountant/legal fees, buy insurance, market ourselves, and grow a capital fund for future projects.
There are two ways to donate. Traditionalists can send a check to: Vintage Computer Federation, P.O. Box 417, Eatontown, NJ, 07724. PayPal fans should use the email address donations@vintagecomputerfederation.org. (There will also be a button on the new web site, but that probably won't be ready for a while.)
Is the Festivus fund tax deductible?
