Hi alle0343,
Look at this as moving forward, taking steps to become an offical group. You can move forward with registering with the Secretary of State. You can get an EIN (Employer Information Number) from the IRS. With that number, you can set up an bank account for your group. You can investigate applying for 501(c)(3) status with the IRS. Here's a link for that: https://www.irs.gov/uac/newsroom/new-1023-ez-form-makes-applying-for-501c3tax-exempt-status-easier-most-charities-qualify. You can do this one step at a time. As long as you are moving in the direction of making these things happen (it doesn't have to be done by next week), you should be all set.
