SSG: Celebrating Our Tax-Exemption!


Even though we are polar opposites of Tea Party groups, Sustainable Sharing with Guatemala (SSG) still waited a long time (15 months!) to receive our Tax Exemption from the Cincinnati office of the IRS. It will be nice to remove the "pending" from our 501 (c) (3) tagline on our website! So now we are a "public charity" and the real work of educating people about our Guatemala/Chicago non-profit and the amazing people it serves can begin in earnest. And now we  can fund-raise to make things happen. If you haven't seen our website, please visit us on-line. You can read about the Guatemalan non-profit (AFOPADI) we currently assist here. If you don't read Spanish, it's very easy to click on the picture pages and get a sense of the people, the places and the projects.
