Hi buffmilonguera, Its sound as if youre off to a good start. However, Id be concerned about investing so much of your own financial resources if your intent is to be a non-profit. With your current activities, I dont see the advantage of being a non-profit instead of a for-profit, unless youre applying for grants or gain a marketing advantage. Grants can be an excellent source of capital for you.
As for memberships, it seems to work very well for Tango Colorado, the Univ. of Michigan, and other places. However, there seemed to be issues with Boston. I don't know if they have been resolved, yet. Membership does gives voting rights and that may bring about new issues you'll need to explore.
