We have 501(c)3 sponsorship from both Free Geek in Portland and the
Salvation Army. We have more control over resources which derive from Free
Geek than SA, and the SA has more bureaucracy. Perhaps someone should
contact Cristina and ask if 501(c)3 sponsorship is acceptable.

Here is what is on their website <http://www.cristina.org/index.html>http://www.cristina.org/index.html:
Equipment donations can be directed only to qualified organizations that have been declared exempt under Internal Revenue Code 501 (c)(3) or are a public agency.
Organizations that would like to join the NCF Network of grassroots partners must complete a grant application
Priority is given to organizations responsible for fostering the training of people with special needs in educational or training environments.

Looks like we need to get our 501(c)3 first.

Can someone on the board please start working on this. I think it may be a great resource for the type of equipment we are looking for.
Thanks,
