The tax-exempt status will allow the Foundation to receive tax-advantageous donations from other organizations, and to fully use funds for the development of the language.

Many thanks to our wonderful grass-roots and corporate community that has been ever so constructive and supportive in this endeavor.

You can still claim expenses though, no? Affirmative. I have personally decided not to as long as I have revenue in my own sole proprietorship. -- Andrei
