You've started a nonprofit. Get it incorporated in your state. Make contributions. I am thinking of getting The Church of the Better Self incorporated as a nonprofit in the State of Missouri. I don't know if that name would then work elsewhere. If it can be...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/westwend4100/565466Whatever. Whatever a person believes in.
