Astrology, Spirituality & Alternative Healing

I have always bucked the system and have never felt comfortable with an organization simply because they're listed as "nonprofit" and have a 501(c)3 status. There are many others doing good work and do not have that status (it's not easy to obtain a 501(c)3 status NOR -- and this is important -- is it inexpensive). The other efforts doing good work are often shunned in many ways because they don't have that status or a "brand."

I've been slammed by many a progressive for not making Wishadoo a non-profit. What people don't seem to get is that having that label is not an indication of any type of organizational integrity whatsoever; it's a matter of taxes, and donors wanting a tax write-off.

Speaking of nonprofits and brands:
