The Artists Collective is formed as an Unincorporated Non-profit Association, not the more familiar 501c(3). This means that it is not a Membership organization and donations to it cannot be claimed as a tax deduction by the donor. A Membership organization means that the members vote on policies. The only Members of the Collective are the individual artist groups' Presidents who can vote on Collective policies. When an artist signs up, they become a member of the artist group they choose, and they become a Participant in the Collective. We use "Participant" in a legal sense for the Collective to make it clear to the taxman that we understand the distinction, as it could affect our non-profit status.
