We have a MOPS group (Christian mothers of preschoolers) within our church and I was wondering if we can use the churchs non for profit status to solicit donations?
      Answer1:A church is not automatically a nonprofit. Ask the Minister if they are and what the tax exempt number is. If the church is a registered non profit you may operate a fundraiser, with the Church Elders permission.Checks must be made out to the Church
      Answer2:search: Business Empire Magazine (get error when i put link)they have a lot of information on cost efficient ways to build and grow a business. The general information should be able to answer your questions
