Some time ago we discussed on this list the nature of state and federal regulation of fundraising via the Internet, but I fear that discussion is dated now. There are a number of good nonprofit lawyers who haunt this group, and others can be found in the American Bar Association's Tax Section Committee on Exempt Organizations. Yes, they cost money, but so would answering lots of unnecessary state regulators' and IRS questions. Best to use some preventative counseling. The public policy issues raised by these questions have been discussed quite a bit.
Further commentary is obviously welcome.
