"light-weight" non-profit status?

[doGooder]

What is the name of your state? MA

I want to start a small non-profit venture which would make money by selling a sticker. The income from sticker sales, over the cost of producing the sticker, would be donated to a 501(c)3 non-profit.

Is there anyway to have the income used to cover the production of the sticker be considered non-taxable with out registering a 501(c)3? The 501(c)3 has too much overhead for this small - temporary venture.

Thanks in advance.

A: I doubt it but check with the experts in the tax forum and tell them we sent you over so you do not get a nastygram for doubleposting.
