Re: [PLUG] Would possibly like to donate hardware: laptops, old monitor, etc

Getting federal non-profit status is not so easy.  If the donation can 
be used, it may be possible to channel it through an existing 
non-profit, which in turn passes it on to PLUG.  This method is both 
legal and appropriate as long as PLUG is the type of organization that 
the intermediary normally assists.
