Session Overview
We aren't required to fill out a long form 1099, but we do for grant purposes. Recently, the IRS changed the rules so that the long form had to be submitted online through an official tax preparer, which makes it so that we can no longer do it ourselves. I want to confirm this information is accurate and could use tips on finding a good tax-preparer for our nonprofit (we are very small and all-volunteer). I also want to make sure we're doing certain things correctly in terms of our taxes.
Nonprofit Overview
Transform beliefs about gender roles and inspire young girls to take off into their future. PreFlight is a 501c3 nonprofit that provides a six-day aviation camp and mentorship program for girls ages 11-14. We use aviation to build girls’ self-esteem, empower them to reach their goals and inspire the next generation of pilots. In the same way that a pilot must first perform a “preflight” before they can take off in their airplane, our camp is a young girl's “preflight” into aviation.
Our hands-on approach to learning explores aviation through Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math (STEAM). Campers apply their knowledge first-hand and make lifelong memories when they pilot a simulator and fly an airplane on a private flight with one of our female instructors! All of our counselors are professional female pilots who empower the campers by connecting each topic to broader life lessons and teaching them there is no limit to what they can achieve.
Seeing is believing, and by placing young girls in an enriching environment, surrounded by female aviators and role models, they begin to believe that becoming a pilot is a real possibility for their lives. PreFlight Aviation Camp will not only transform beliefs about gender roles but will inspire young girls to take off into their future.
