@Mike: I have an email out to some lawyers in California. I hope to hear from them before the weekend but can't promise that fast a response; in any event I will forward you any names I may get. I am afraid I don't know if they cowork or not but at the very least we ought to be able to get your nonprofit questions answered. California law is notoriously not the same as anywhere else so I dare not express any opinions about that myself, but I will tell you that the one to answer the 501(c)(3) questions is often an accountant. A lawyer will tell you how to do it; an accountant is often the one to ask whether or not you should. Either way, I will get back with you by next week.
