the IRS 501(c)(3) status doesn’t relate to whether the entity is a corporation, LLC, or whatever. After incorporating, you’d then file with the IRS for your tax status.

For instance, in IL, you can incorporate as an LLC or a Corporation. If you file as a Corporation, you then can opt to file as a sub-chapter “S” corporation with the IRS and be taxed as a partnership instead of as a corporation. Ditto for other tax statuses such as the 501(c)(3), etc.

It’s Moms Against Guns. Mothers Against Guns is another group. Perhaps they should sue Moms Against Guns for trademark infringement.

Of course, the web page of Mothers Against Guns claims to be a 501(c)(3)

Which, in hindsight isn’t that surprising. A privately funded attack group.

They aren’t registered as a charity with the state, either. It looks like they are actually a business.

I did a charity search at irs.gov for them and it did not get a match - so I don’t have a EIN or proof that they are actually a 501c3 charity.

I have downloaded the PDF complaint form, but it requires the organization’s address and their federal EIN. Is that available somewhere? It’s not on MAG’s website - there is only an email contact.
