Ask HN: GSuite / Office365 Alternatives for Non-501(c)(3) Nonprofits

I'd say you have to up your dues to the point where you can get and keep 501(c)(3) registration. You'll want that for fundraising when you eventually need to fight off these developers that are closing in.

Google Apps for nonprofits is a cinch once you have that registration.

If your residents can't afford any of this, they probably can't afford to hold the developers at bay. Best of luck.

Thank you for the well-wishes. We've been fairly successful thanks to some tenacious members with an excellent knowledge of local ordinances and the willingness to attend council and planning meetings.

We just had our bi-annual meeting last night and the discussion around raising dues was raised. The motion did not pass however, as our most active residents are also the least wealthy. It's an odd dynamic but they are good people.
