The other poster is partially true. You need to have the status from the IRS. However, there are other steps you need to do before this process. Your state approval, articles of incorporation, basic set up like board of directors, services your going to provide, business plan, etc etc. (this isn’t listed in order either)The best place I can refer you over to is an organization that helps people with all the steps from point A to point Z on everythng. It’s called The Foundation Group. They have a 100 percent success rate. Their web site is http://www.501c3.org They will help you get everything done from the first step to the last step. Then the funding part comes into play. I can show you our funding resource if you’d like.

Your best bet is to contact the Better Business Bureau. You can contact them online and file a complaint. Here’s your link

Your other option is to contact the manufacturer directly. Do it by phone rather than by email, you will get a better response. When you contact by phone, always ask for a supervisor first, and always be polite, and plead your case in a pleasent way. You get more bees with honey, etc. Honestly, I deal in customer service everyday, we always give better responses when the client is polite and is just asking for help as oppossed to the guy that just calls and curses at us, we all avoid that person like the plague. Just something to keep in mind. Good Luck.
