Happy New Years from the IRS!

Hello Gamers! Wanted to take a moment and wish everyone a Happy New Years and to say thank you for being apart of ATR Gamers. We've seen our membership grow greatly this year with the addition of our Battlefield 4 group to our ranks. Faster servers, more games being offered, more events and prizes. Big thank you to those that have donated their time and/or money to help make this group a success.

As some of you know we make great effort at trying to be as transparent as possible with what money is coming in and going out, from who and where to. As part of that we wanted to take the extra step of actually becoming a registered organization and becoming exempt from federal income tax.

I'm proud to announce that I received notice from the Internal Revenue Service today that our application and paperwork was accepted and we are now a registered 501 (c) (7) organization, technically a "Social Club" https://www.irs.gov/Charities-&-Non-Profits/Other-Non-Profits/Social-Clubs. No, your donations are not tax deductible lol. But it is a big step for our group, makes us more legitimate and will help us with our future endeavors. For example it will make us stand out a lot more while seeking sponsors for our upcoming LAN event.  

It should also make all of you more comfortable, knowing we are putting the work in, we are here to stay and any donation is for ATR Gamers only, and not going to pay for a family vacation.

Anyway, just wanted to share as I thought this was some exciting news. Thank you again everyone and I'm sure this year will be even bigger for us!

Love,
Happy

Great job and Congrats to everyone who worked on the non-profit status.  Been there, done that, and it can be a frustrating process. Glad ATR's went smoothly :)
