I was recently put on my condominium's condo association board. We are considered a not-for-profit condominium association, and I'm wondering about the non-profit status. Are we able to get a certificate that states that we are a non-profit? I am trying to get some donations from the local merchants, and most want a copy of something that states we are a non-profit. Our lawyer doesn't seem to know of any official form. My old job had a 501c3 form, but that was a different type of non-profit. Philadelphia, PA.
