We expect to hear back from the IRS by early November. This is based on a number of factors:

1. We had help from a couple of similar organizations who both heard back in about 3 months time: Gateway to Gov and DemocracyLab – thank you both!
2. We hired a lawyer who has expertise in these sort of things.
3. At the time of submission, the IRS was reporting a 60 day backlog in reviewing applications. (On the hopeful side, they are apparently working REALLY hard to catch up however…)
