WWA Section Emergency Communications Group, Inc. - a 501(c)3 Organization Why was this group created?Several people in the section ran into situations where a
group member contacted a Governmental Unit, Commercial Company or an individual
who wanted to donate surplus equipment to a specific ARES team or to an
Emergency Communications Service in general.
The problem was that the donor was required to donate the
surplus equipment to ONLY a qualified 501(c)(3) organization.
We could have created several separate qualified
501(c)(3) organizations, one for each district or team. We discussed the issues
of multiple levels of management, record keeping and organization of
maintaining separate entities and we decided to create one entity, qualify it
under current IRS regulations, manage it though the current functioning
ARRL/ARES organizational structure and make it available to all emergency
communications teams in the Western Washington Section.
