NVERS Steering Committee and Partners:
We are pleased to announce NVERS' IRS 1023 application for 501(c)3 status has been approved by the IRS.
Based on guidance from the IRS and the experience of our advisors, we were prepared for this process to take up to 2 years and consist of multiple back-and-forth question/answer sessions with the IRS.
