Lots has happened with Siskiyou Violins over the summer, but our biggest news is that our 501(c)(3) tax deductible nonprofit status was officially approved by the IRS! Although this application is over 20 pages long and requires tons of supporting documentation, and usually takes several months and a lot of questions and clarifications before approval is granted, our application went straight through and was approved in only 6 weeks!
