They refer to parts of the United States Code dealing with tax-exempt and tax-advantaged organisations. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/501(c). Most US states have similar or "conforming" tax law; your jurisdiction may or may not offer similar provisions. As I noted briefly in my original suggestion to Darren, the international nature of our effort means that anyone wishing to work on this also needs to investigate and understand the effects on participants, directors, and would-be donors and award recipients outside the United States, and make provisions to give them comparable advantages where practical. -- Keith M Wesolowski "Sir, we're surrounded!"
