[Noisebridge-board] AMT donation

[Rachel McConnell]

Hi Mike,

When we did the 501(c)(3) for Noisebridge, it took about 3 months 
overall.  As you may be aware it is retroactive for a year, I believe 
from the approval date.  This may be too late for Dan, I remember that 
donation and it was some time back.

I'm forwarding this request to the Noisebridge board to see what they 
think.  If Noisebridge can't do this for whatever reason, the only 
option I see is for Dan to take the donation on his next year's taxes. 
In that case it would be Dan loaning it to AMT instead of Noisebridge, 
until the tax-deductible status is finalized.
