Corporations all info for filing corporation http://www.tn.gov/sos/forms/fg-fp.pdf
definition -A company or group of people authorized to act as a single entity (legally a person) and recognized as such in law.
Equity - A stock or any other security representing an ownership interest. (since dealing with corporations)
A Limited Liability Company (LLC) is a business structure allowed by state statute. LLCs are popular because, similar to a corporation, owners have limited personal liability for the debts and actions of the LLC. Other features of LLCs are more like a partnership, providing management flexibility and the benefit of pass-through taxation.

Fundraising online
There are many different ways to raise money online the first ones I think of our setting up a website for whatever cause you are trying to fund and letting people make donations. You can also set up adspace on that website and generate money that way. You can sell items online via of course ebay, but also amazon. I had a buddy that made a youtube video and after so many hits people offered to buy the rights to the video, also if you have alot of hits on your youtube video you can get money from it. You could do online raffle tickets on your website also. You need to register with your state and potentially other states for your fundraising because you can potentially run into problems with your donors or the IRS.
I struggled trying to find a list of which fundraising websites did the best, so I am going to list who I think probably does very well.
www.unicefusa.org (Haiti)
To be honest I am not really sure how much I think I could raise in a week if referring to our project probably not that much since the parts we need Dr. Islam said we could probably get for free and to get our board made would be $30. I think our group can very easily come up with enough for our project, but if the cause was for something greater I think people would be far more apt to give.
The H.R. 2930 — Entrepreneur Access to Capital Act
Allows entrepreneurs to use crowd funding to start their businesses and let communities invest in their local businesses they may believe in. It creates a crowdfunding expemption from SEC regulations for firms raising $5 million, with individual investments limited to $10,000 or 10% of an investor's income whichever is less. It preempts blue sky laws and eliminates the application of the ban on general solicitation for issuers relying on the crowdfunding exemption. It also excludes crowdfunding investors from counting as shareholders for the purposes of calculating the 499-shareholder cap under 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act
