One minor comment, but generally looks good!


Our charitable status expands fundraising opportunities while also reducing our operating costs.

* Most importantly, **we are exempt from paying tax** on the money that we raise. Furthermore, individuals and companies that pay taxes in the US may deduct donations to the Foundation on their annual returns.

I'd probably drop the "most importantly" here -- IMO it's actually one of the most minor aspects.

Fair, dropped :) I do think it is rather important, which is why so many flavors of tax-exempt 501(c)(N) exist, why OSC exists as a 501(c)(6) fiscal sponsor, etc.
