Hey Everyone!
I’m very happy to announce that we recently received our 501c3 non-profit status! We, at the Worthington Foundation are very excited for what this means in the coming months! Thank you for your support over the years. We started the iHistory Project back in 2009 and it has been quite a journey.
When we started the iHistory Project, in the Fall of 2009, we looked to partner with other non-profit organizations in order to save the time of having to file to become 501(c)(3) ourselves, but because of the economic down turn, most organizations were not taking on new projects. So in June 2010, we hired a paralegal, who came highly recommended and whom we had worked with previously, to file our own 501(c)(3) application. Unfortunately, he led us on a wild goose chase for 18 months. He took our money and, to the best of our knowledge, he’s residing in Europe. It was mid-2011 before we realized that he was not doing the work he had claimed. This was confirmed a few months later when the IRS said that he had never contacted them on our behalf. Needless to say, that was devastating news.
It took a few months for us to untangle the mess he left behind. So, in January 2012, we again began the process of applying to become non-profit organization. However, this time was with a reputable company, thus, we are glad to report that in October, 2012, we (the Worthington Foundation) finally received our 501(c)(3) non-profit status!
