February 13, 2007 – Motion 02-07-01 by Jan Price VP, ICG
Second. Rob Himmelsbach,
DVCG and Bruce MacDermott, Treasurer
Over the past
months, the Committee of the Whole has discussed the requirements of the IRS
Form 8718 filing to extend the umbrella of our corporate 501(c)(3) non-profit, (federal) tax-exempt status to our
chapters. This included informal polling regarding general support for the
filing, acceptance of language in the Uniform Governing Instrument (UGI),
chapter interest in participating as "subordinate," and willingness
to use existing ICG funds to cover the IRS filing fee. The result of each poll
was an affirmative majority.
Therefore, I move
that:
1. The ICG make the
appropriate filing(s) with the IRS to ensure that our corporate 501(c)(3) non-profit, tax-exempt (federal) status also includes
any ICG chapter in good standing that chooses to qualify as a
"subordinate" of the parent corporation. And,
2. that the Board of Directors approve the allocation of
$900.00 from the ICG's reserve funds to be used for
the required, associated IRS filing fee.
