Hi Bhaskar!
Long time no chat! 501(c)3 would be a valid approach. When we
incorporated www.ifossf.org, we went this route. You should also check
the states that offer more conducive environments for nonprofit
incorporation. The State of Michigan is a good option. An attorney is
must and a strategy
We will be doing that too ;)

One of the primary purposes of LibertyMSF will be to work on orphan
projects like written documentation or code documentation, and we want
to be able to apply for grants and such. We also want to be able to
accept donations directly from individuals. For this reason we will be
going 501c3

I'll second that. There are (at least) two types of non-profit
organizations in the US: those incorporated under section 501(c)(3) and
501(c)(6). Before you incorporate, do check which with an attorney as
to which is best for your needs. There certainly is a need in the FOSS
health space for
Fred,
From your description this sounds very much like a trade association
not a 501 c 3 as your advertised objective on the website. How far are
you in the "midst" of applying for 501 c 3... are you working through a
good not for profit lawyer?
