Florida
Here is the deal:
I have a website, where I run a live video feed from a camera that is placed on a piece of property that I own. We allow people to watch the wildlife on our camera, 24/7/365. Well, the website has gotten extremely popular and people are wanting to donate funds to help pay for feeding the wildlife, and help pay for the maintenance, repairs and upgrades of equipment. I know we need to get some kind of licensing or something, but I am at a loss as to what we need to do? Would we quality as a non-profit organization? If so, how do I go about getting that done? If we make money off of advertising other people's businesses on our website, are we allowed to "pay ourselves" if it is a non-profit org?
Sorry for all of the questions, I have just never dealt with this type of thing before.
