We used to have a "club" account with a local bank. It was just like a business
account, but they waived monthly fees. But we did go the 501.c3 route as a CDSS
affiliate.

From my
experience in other organizations, you can not open a business
account unless you
are a "business" That is a legal term and requires a
legal document. Probably the best way for you to do it is to get a
lawyer/dancer to help you, or ask one of the umbrella orgs t ie. CDSS to
help you be one of their groups.

Hi, I've been trying to open a business bank
account and ran into the
problem that we are not legally established as an organization. I
understand we could become a corporation, but in speaking with the bank,
all we would need to be is an unincorporated association. Has anyone done
this? It's not like we have money to pay a lawyer, so I'm looking to see if
I can find the forms online or through another group that has already done
this. We are not looking for non-profit status. Just a way to open a
business bank account. I would also be interested in organizers who opened
a personal bank account and how they handled the tax consequences.
Thanks for any comments,
Carol Geisler
