I am planning to start an alley in my area. I have located a couple of other clowns in the area who will lend their support. Once the meeting date is set we will place an announcment in the community section of the newspaper (free) and see if we can get things started.
For the alley to be non-profit and not pay taxes on what they bring in, you can not 'charge' for apperances. At least that is my understanding. In TX we were always careful to accept donations but not charge. You could suggest a donation to help cover supplies and keep the organization going. We found that worked.
