Has anyone dealt with something like this? I'm not sure what my options are.

nonprofit 501c3 application denied. I've been dealing with this for about 11 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already tried to resolve this directly but did not get a clear answer.

Do I have a strong case? What should my next steps be?

Have you tried reaching out to your state's legal aid society? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.

I had a similar issue and ended up consulting with an attorney. It was worth the $200-300 for the initial consultation just to understand my rights.

I went through almost the exact same thing.

What worked for me was having everything documented. It took 3-6 months but was worth it.

Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.

In my case, it took about 3-6 months to resolve. The key was having everything documented.
