There is no "state non-profit status". GNHLUG is a corporation of the
State of NH. It just happens to be a non-profit corporation. The federal
NPO status is just a recognition of that by the IRS, which only affects
our ability to receive tax deductible donations. We can still get donations,
but they aren't deductible by the donators.
