The annual Chapter Report Form and instructions are online now here. The questionnaire has been updated and streamlined as has the reporting process and we hope you will find it simpler to use. As part of 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.
