Can anyone here help me get my California AA meeting through the 501(c)(3) application process?

It's a speaker meeting in San Clemente and I created a website last year to make the recordings available to everyone

In addition to the "audio" commitment, I am currently the meeting's treasurer and I have been authorized to apply for 501(c)(3) status. Doing this will allow us to get free hosting and a free PayPal account for the website. This will allow us to accept online donations.

I have reviewed all of AA Central's literature on the subject and it is up to individual meetings to get their own 501(c)(3).

I'm not a tax lawyer, but I am probably the only reliable person at the meeting with the attention span to do this; we are, after all, talking about non-billionaires living under Darrell Issa's gerrymandered roof. The "fuck it; it's too much trouble" atmosphere is so thick you can see it.
