Q: In many countries, NGOs are exempt from paying state and federal taxes. This legal status makes it easier for NGOs to operate, as they are not required to pay tax on the funding they receive from government bodies, donors, and other sources. After you are registered as an NGO, you can apply for tax exemption through your country’s revenue agency. Once you are approved for tax exemption, you can also provide tax deductible donations for all donors to encourage people and companies to donate to your organization or group. As an NGO, you can also enjoy other benefits like funding and support from government departments, training opportunities through the government, and financial support for equipment and items you may need as an NGO. Keep in mind the benefits associated with your NGO status will depend on which country you operate in as well as your country’s rules and regulations.  As an NGO, you can also get access to foreign NGOs and international funding partners, which can help to boost your organization’s capabilities. You should be informed about the benefits available to you as an NGO once you receive your status from the government. Your country may require you to confirm your NGO status annually by providing documentation and information that shows you are operating as a non-profit. You may also need to adhere to certain labor laws and organizational laws to maintain your NGO status. Your applicable government body should inform you of the rules and regulations attached to your NGO status so you can follow them.
A: Apply for tax exempt status as an NGO. Lean into the other benefits of NGO status. Follow the rules and regulations associated with NGO status.

Article: Developing a normal cleaning routine will prevent debris, oil, and dirt from building up. Daily cleaning makes your eyewear easier to maintain and extend their lifespan. Further, cleaning your eyewear from lenses to earpieces regularly will prevent them from becoming discolored and lower the risk of eye infection. Use specific towels or cloths for cleaning your glasses, and don’t use them for other purposes. Clean them every few days to make sure they’re not harboring any particles that could damage your lenses or anti-glare coating. Keep cloths handy when you’re on the go, but make sure to use them in tandem with tap water or a generous amount of spray cleaner. Keeping cloths with you when you’re away from home will reduce the temptation to use napkins or other paper products, which don’t work very well and can leave small particles that might cause fine scratches. Keep a spray cleaning solution approved for anti-glare lenses for when you’re on the go and don’t have access to tap water and dish soap. Use plenty of the solution on your lenses before you do any wiping. Really soaking them will remove dust and dirt particles. Keep a lint-free cloth or microfiber towel handy to wipe your glasses after spraying them down with solution.  Check the label or verify that the solution is anti-glare approved with your optometrist You could make your own spray eyeglass cleaner as well.

Problem: Article: Protect your work on the railings and trim by taping off areas where they meet the stairs. Also tape off where the stairs meet the floor upstairs and downstairs. You may also want to put down drop cloths at the top and the bottom of the stairs, although you can typically get away without them if you are painting carefully with a brush. Talk to an employee at your local paint store about which products will work best for your specific project. In general, the treads and risers should be painted with an oil-based paint that also contains a sealer so that it holds up to constant traffic. However, water-based floor and patio paints are made to be stepped on, so they hold up well on stairs as well. When purchasing primer, consider asking a paint store employee to tint it to help with coverage. This is especially important if you have a strong final coat color. A tinted primer will ensure that your top coats cover the primer color more easily and will reduce the number of top coats you need to do. Beginning at the top of the stairs, paint the first stair completely. Then skip a stair and paint the third stair down. Continue like this, working your way down so that you can have room to move as you work and so that you can leave areas alone once you paint them.  Painting every other step will allow you to use the stairs as they dry. Use a brush to paint the stairs so that you can get into all of the corners easily. Allow the primer to dry completely before moving on with your finish coats. This usually takes anywhere from an hour to 4 hours, depending on the exact paint you are using. Read the label on the primer for drying times and check the primer for dryness. Start at the top again but paint the steps that haven’t been primed yet: the second, fourth, and so on. Continue down until all of the steps have been primed. Start painting at the top of the stairs, making sure you completely coat the top step before moving down to the third one. Work the paint into the corners of each stair and then finish by painting smooth strokes over the big surfaces while smoothing out any blobs of paint near the corners. Allow each coat to dry thoroughly before applying a second coat, and potentially a third.  Be sure that you are getting a solid coat of paint in all of the corners, including under the front lip of each stair. You will know a third coat is necessary if you can still see primer after the second coat is dry. Once the first set of stairs are completely dry, which usually takes about a day, go back and paint the others. Work your way down, painting the second step first and then moving down to the fourth and so on. Once each coat is completely dry, you can apply an additional coat.
Summary: Tape off areas around the stairs. Pick a primer and paint that are designed for use on floors or stairs. Start painting the primer at the top and paint every other step on the way down. Paint the primer on the other steps once the first set is dry. Paint 2 to 3 coats of the finish coat on every other step. Paint 2 to 3 coats of the finish paint on the rest of the stairs.

Q: Use an orbital sander or standard sandpaper to sand down the area. Sand until the filler is evened out and it is level with the surrounding wood. Wipe it down to remove dust before painting or staining. Run your hand over the repaired area to see if it's smooth. Also, make sure you have filled in the hole and that it's level with the wood. Even if you filled in the hole completely, it may have settled out and left a depression or hole. If you haven't completely filled in the hole, repeat the process by adding more wood filler. Most wood fillers can be painted, but fillers may affect how the paint looks. If you use primer first, it can help even out the look of the area. This process works particularly well if you're painting a whole piece of furniture that you've repaired holes on. Once you've got the repaired area perfectly level with the rest of the wood, you can apply paint or stain to match the rest of the wood. If you're not sure of the paint or stain, you may want to test it first in an inconspicuous area to make sure it matches. You can also test stain on a piece of scrap wood.
A:
Sand down the area until it is smooth and even with the wood. Check that the hole is filled in. Apply primer if you're painting the area. Paint or stain the area.
