    Windows Vista

    Non-Profit Organization

    also wanted to mention just because you become a Non profit doesn't mean money starts rolling in. You will have to work on marketing and fund raising. Grant writing is possible but people don't just start sending you grant money to brand new organizations (Im sure there are some exceptions.)...
