Listen up, local nonprofit peeps! This is really important!
Saturday, May 15, 2010, is IRS Doomsday for small nonprofits. A few years ago, the IRS started requiring small nonprofits (those with annual receipts under $25,000) to file IRS Form 990-N annually. If your small nonprofit has not filed one of these forms, the organization will lose its nonprofit status on May 15, 2010.
Over 7,500 Minnesota nonprofits are on the list, which you can access on the Minnesota Council of Nonprofits’ website. The list is alphabetical by organization name. If you want to scan the list by location, after you download the Excel file, resave it to your computer and resort it by City.
I decided to take a look at the list this morning to see how many Morrison County nonprofits were listed and there are quite a few. I know that some of these organizations are still active, so if they want to keep their keep their nonprofit status, they will have to act quickly.
Here are the Morrison County nonprofits I found on the list:

[Addendum – 5/19/2010: If you missed the filing deadline for your small nonprofit, the IRS has good news for you. Go ahead and file your 990-N. The IRS doesn’t want to see small nonprofits unnecessarily lose their status. Here’s the word directly from IRS Commissioner Doug Shulman.]
