the annual recertification process, each Chapter President or their delegate is asked to please fill out the report forms
for the 2008-2009 program year and send them to Chapter Services between August 15 and December 31, 2009. |

| 2008 Tax Filing Alert for Tax-Exempt Audubon Chapters |
|
| Audubon
Chapters that qualify as 501(c)(3) non-profit public
charities must file an annual information return using
Form 990 or 990-EZ. If annual gross receipts do not
normally exceed $25,000, an annual electronic notice
(e-Postcard) Form
990-N generally may be filed instead. The deadline
to file is May 15th for all organizations whose tax
year ends on December 31. Organizations whose tax year
is different from the calendar year must file by the
15th day of the 5th month after the close of their tax
year.
Learn more and download IRS forms here.
Please consult your tax advisor to determine the application
of these requirements to your Chapter. |

| Using Facebook as an Organizing Tool |
|
| You may
have heard of the social networking site, Facebook, but
did you know that non-profits, including Audubon Chapters,
are using it to create awareness about their campaigns
and to connect with their community? Some Chapters without
a web site choose to use Facebook as their only online
presence; other Chapters with web sites use Facebook as
an additional outreach tool. Read
more. |
