Legal Question in Administrative Law in California
501(c)(3) public charity
Hi!
We are 3 people (1 US Citizen + 2 foreign scientists) who want to register a science laboratory as 501(c)(3) public charity nationwide(starting with CA) and to receive public donations for the advancement of science.
1) What type of organization would best in this case?
2) Can a foreigner register this organization, making the US Citizen be the lead/head of this organization?
Thank you very much!

The citizenship issue is not a problem. Just do the organization's formation properly. Feel free to contact me if you want legal counsel and help in forming or operating the company.
