Big News!!

On Friday Ubuntu Sports Outreach received it's letter from the IRS giving it tax exempt status as a 501(c)(3) organization!!  This is a huge development.  All gifts given to the organization are now tax deductible.  It opens up opportunities to apply for grants from a few foundations that require this to be complete.  

It's an even more amazing development because about 3 weeks ago the IRS website said it was reviewing applications submitted in April and we submitted ours in July.  We were nervous that it wouldn't get done by the end of the year.  But it seems that if God was involved and got it reviewed much quicker!  (I just looked and the website still says April!)  We've known organizations that spent 2 years or more getting this status accomplished. 

So, this has been a big boost this week for us.  If you know of people, foundations, churches, or businesses that we should be sharing our vision with, let me know!!

Cheers,

Casey
