I have been advised that any group using "Donate" on a website can be construed as requiring 501(c)3 status, per a briefing by The Stumptown Syndicate on org types and people giving you money as a group (the geekiest of us know who they are). That means the IRS could do some not-so-nifty tax stuff based on the website if they so chose.

The work around is "Contribute"

We might want to firm that info up. The Movement has been loose about some fact checking.
