Google 广告通报

迄今为止一个半月来，伊甸文苑自 Google 广告创收数额很小，帮助不大。权衡利弊后，我们决定将其撤下，以清洁版面。特此告知。感谢大家的击点帮助!

如果有人愿购买我的《朱晓玲自选集》（2003年由中国文史出版社出版），我愿赞助二十本到三十本（单价31元），所卖款项全部赞助伊甸文苑。寄书邮资我付。

雪儿春节大好！

你先给我寄十本吧，我在这里会分送给大家。万分感谢你！

为力，就按你去年给我寄书来的那个地址寄你吗？如果是，等春节（春节期间的初十左右，家中老是有客人来，无法走出去）这几天过完后，我就按那地址寄出。但是，为了稳妥起见，我希望你将你的地址重新写一次，用E给我寄来。我等着你的E。

我也想要10本，但有些担心我们买多了将影响其他网友购买。这样好不好，为力来
五本，我来五本？就寄为力的地址吧，让她再转给我，这样比较方便，也不着急的。

如果我没弄错的话，冬雪儿就是国内的第一位伊甸赞助人了，感谢！

Do I Have to File for Tax Exempt Status to Be a Nonprofit?

From Joanne Fritz, Your Guide to Nonprofit Charitable Orgs.

Answer:

Do not confuse an IRS registered, tax-exempt 501(c)(3) nonprofit with a non-exempt charitable organization. Many groups serve the public but are not registered with the IRS as a nonprofit.

Some "charitable" organizations do register with the state in which they reside and even incorporate in that state as nonprofit corporations and never apply for federal tax-exempt status.

However, many small "charitable" organizations never seek recognition as a nonprofit from their state or the federal government.

The disadvantage to not becoming a registered nonprofit is that donors cannot take a tax deduction on their donations, and you cannot receive grants from foundations or corporations.

Becoming a 501(c)(3) organization is not for the faint of heart. It involves a lot of paperwork and some expense.

Think carefully before you begin the arduous process of a becoming a tax-exempt nonprofit organization. If your purpose is simple and/or time limited, you may be able to accomplish your mission without tax-exempt status.

注解：
伊甸文苑就属于以上说明文字中的「“charitable” organizations」。
“charitable” 翻译成中文就是“可以募捐的”。

Not every nonprofit needs to incorporate and apply for 501(c)(3) status from the IRS.

It is important to note that not all charitable causes are registered with the IRS. If you give to a small, local cause that does not enjoy tax-exempt status, just make sure that you know something about the people who are asking for your money.

Many causes spring up, run their course, and go away. That doesn't mean that they are illegal or fraudulent. When you get your car washed by a group of local high school kids to help them take their band to the Rose Bowl Parade, that may be just fine. Just be sure that the group has the backing of its school or some other community organization.

If you do not need to solicit tax-exempt contributions or receive grants from foundations, you don't really need to be a registered nonprofit.

实在不好意思，我已很久没看这条线了。我的书没寄出，却徒有虚名地拥有"国内第一位伊甸赞助人"的美名。老是想着将手中的书稿写完后，再去办理寄书之事。看了这条线后，我心都发慌了。再不能等了，明天，我将到邮局把书给为力寄出十五册。章凝购买的五册就让为力转给你吧。

另外，我想给伊甸寄赞助费，而我又没有使用信用卡，也没开个人帐户。不知如何给伊甸汇款。可以将赞助费直接寄给为力吗? 希望为力尽快给我回话，我好明天一并到邮局去办理。

雪儿，
寄书时，用海运，空运太贵。寄书不着急，到时我一定买你的书。雪儿工作要紧。还要注意身体。不用回.

谁能告知怎么set paypal?
