As we are still in our founding stage, Bridgework Alliance for Cultural Wellbeing is moving forward as a Self-Declared 501(c)(3) . While still held to the same standards as a traditional 501(c)(3), this allows us to receive the benefits of tax-exempt status without the fees, bureaucratic processes, and timeline associated with formally filing with the IRS. As we near the organizational threshold, Bridgework will file our form 1023 application. Together, let's grow and get there!
