Great news.

Have you also applied for and received your California tax exemption
from the Franchise Tax Board?

It's not automatic - you're still liable for state taxes until you get
it - but there's a a rubber stamp option if you send them your IRS
letter; it's a different form from the normal exemption request, much
shorter. For my nonprofit, it took 2-3 months for them to respond,
though. :-/

OTOH, it should be retroactive to the start of your federal exemption.
