One correction is that ProgCode does have non-profit status, which was obtained with the filing of non-profit Articles of Incorporation with the State of Michigan on 03-06-17. It is lacking tax-exempt status, which must be obtained from the IRS with the filing of a Form 1024. ProgCod will be seeking tax-exempt status as a 501(c)(4) social welfare organization, consistent with the earlier decision of the community.
