I am actually a trustee for a non profit group. Registration is the
hardest part and really requires a lawyer. However there are some
responsibilities as you are basically forming a corporation. There
are officers and boards. They have legal responsibilities. Filing is
less complicated if your gross donations are less the $25000 per year
probably your case. Book keeping is no more complicated than any other
business good accounting principles apply most every where. Google Pro
bono partnership it is a good place to seek representation for non
profits, also google legal responsibilities of non profit trustees.
It is not a simple process and you'll need to consider if it is
something worth while for your group to do.

I think the legalities are there and solid. However, bookkeeping is
supposedly to be unholy. Also, you don't do the forms right it's
$1,000 per day until they're done right. UGH!

No we are an association.
Our next step may be a type of non-profit.
The hardest type is IRS approved NP.

Just curious, is the NYC group a registered non profit? Is that
something that is too much of a pain to setup?
