Hey, Have you considered reaching out to a group like Software in the Public Interest and accepting donations through them? It's how Debian, Arch, and several others take donations exactly so they don't have to deal with the trouble of banks that you're going through now. Admittedly, it sounds

i am somewhat surprised your attorneys have not mentioned the most simplistic solution. if the sole purpose for incorporating is to implement banking, there is actually no need to register for an IRS letter. if you satisfy the state regulations and obtain an EIN you are fine. the IRS letter

Marquess: your treasury re-alignment might be simplified a bit if you look to an on-line-type bank such as Ally Bank. while they are not on the SWIFT network, they use Chase -- like many intermediate-sized banks -- and benefit from having the "wholesale" rate between themselves. this enables
