I just wanted to let everyone know that the Coalition has been approved by the
IRS as a 501c3 organization. The application package was very large and took a
lot of time to put together. Our CPA, Linda Pfingst did an outstanding job. She
deserves a big thank you from everyone. Without her we could not have done it!
She donated countless hours to getting this application completed and approved.
She believes in what we do and apparently so does the IRS. This ruling will now
allow us to accept large donations from corporate and private endowment
sponsors to build on our fledgling programs such as our Police Leadership
Institute for Accreditation Managers, a model written directive system that is
compliant with the NJSACOP's, CALEA's Recognition standards and AG
guidelines (for small agencies), and supplementing local agencies with capitol
who cannot otherwise afford accreditation. This is a great day for law
enforcement accreditation in New Jersey!

Linda’s expertise and experience with non-profit organizations made the filing of
our 1023 application a much easier task. Her close attention to each detail of the
required and supplemental documents ensured that our application would process
smoothly and in a timely manner. Linda understood how important receiving tax
exempt status was to the success of our rabbit rescue organization and how
anxiously we were awaiting word. The first to congratulate and inform us that the
501 c 3 status had been granted, Linda is a genuine pleasure to work with!

Financial accountability and integrity are one of the guiding principles of New
Jersey Reads. As a new statewide nonprofit, Linda’s expertise has ensured that
our filings and audits are accurate and submitted on-time, which is key to the
operation and ongoing success of any nonprofit. The breadth and depth of her
expertise is always a delight, great surprise and reassuring. She’s always reading
the latest in accounting and tax practices, networking with experts and sharing
nuggets – in plain, easy-to-understand terms. For a non-financial person, she
makes finances fun and, as a bonus, she strengthens my leadership abilities in
managing a growing organization.

Linda has been an invaluable resource to our organization since 1994. I know that
we are following the laws that apply to nonprofit organizations and that our funds
are being handled properly. Even more importantly, I know that I can count on
her to alert us to changes in our financial status, not just from day to day or even
year to year, but over the long term. Our organization never embarks on a project
with long range financial implications without getting her input. Linda manages
our funds carefully, making sure that we are getting the best rates on our reserve
funds, but never risking our principal. Linda has saved me enormous amounts of
time by using past information about our spending habits in order to help develop
our annual budget. In addition to having an outstanding understanding of the
financial underpinnings of our organization, Linda is just plain likeable!

Whiskers Rescue was incorporated in 2001. After years of searching for an
accountant with excellent knowledge of non profits, fair prices, and a
willingness to work with small organizations we were lucky enough to find Linda
Pfingst. She has been our organization's accountant as well as our personal
accountant now for several years and we have had nothing but wonderful
experiences. Thanks to her knowledge we have been able to grow Whiskers
Rescue and in the process provide the invaluable service of trap, neuter, return
for both the feral cat population and the members of our community looking for
an alternative to euthanasia. Linda has been instrumental in making this possible.

I have been active in a finance role for the International Ombudsman
Association (and its predecessor, The Ombudsman Association), for the
pleasure of working with you for five of those six years.
I am pleased to have this opportunity to thank you for the excellent
service you have provided to our association during this period. You
have always prepared your reports accurately and on time and have
benefited our organization. For example, your budget suggestions have
led to a more accurate and easier to understand budget for our Board.
Finances are one of the least exciting and least understood topics to
some of our Board members, but, now, many are asking questions and
have become fully engaged when finances are discussed.
Equally important, you have become a part of our team and you have
made my job much easier and enjoyable knowing that I can always
count on you.
Thank you,
Gary Yamashita
