Financial Overview
As a small nonprofit with annual gross receipts under $50,000, Flagstaff Freethinkers files the abbreviated IRS Form 990-N (e-Postcard) rather than a full Form 990. This reflects our lean, volunteer-operated structure.
Our funds support:
- Community events and meetups
- MLK Day of Service coordination
- Donations to local charities (e.g., Flagstaff Family Food Center)
- Educational materials and outreach
- Minimal administrative costs (PO Box, filing fees, web hosting)
Governance
Flagstaff Freethinkers is governed by a volunteer board of directors. Board members receive no compensation. Major decisions are made in accordance with our bylaws and nonprofit best practices. Annual meetings are open to supporting members.
