A question has come up in our guild.....our president wanted to give back
to
the entire group for such a fine job that was done at our quilt show....so
she arranged a workshop that she has offered to guild members for
free....here is the question....we are an incorporated non-profit
organization and so one of our members pointed out that there are IRS
"admonitions"/rules about non profit organizations using group funds for
the
benefit of the members only....the general thought is to offer a certain
set
number of slots for the workshop for the general public and the balance to
the membership....
Has anyone had to deal with this issue in your guild or other non profit
organization? And how did you address it?
