Why charge for BBBS Memberships? The answer is simple and direct....BBBS wants to become an Affiliate of The Blues Foundation, which will not only enhance everything BBBS does, but also enable The Big Bend to hold our own IBC Challenge Events ! To Become a Blues Foundation Affiliate, BBBS needs to change from a Florida Not For Profit Corp to a 501C3 Foundation, as required by The Blues Foundation.
Section 501(c)(3) is the portion of the US Internal Revenue Code that allows for federal tax exemption of nonprofit organizations, specifically those that are considered public charities, private foundations or private operating foundations.
