speaking from experience, setting up a tax-exempt org is no minor
undertaking.  in fact, it's a down-right p.i.t.a.  it's not a bad idea,
but it takes a lot of work and more than few hours with a lawyer.  it
entails organization by-laws, a board of directors, and keeping books.

a better option might be to seek project status with a "fiscal sponsor."
 that's an already-established tax exempt non-profit that technically
keeps yr books for you.
