IRS 501(c)(3) tax exempt for USA FSM?
So has anyone filed for tax exempt status under 501(c)(3)? Did it work? How hard was it? Any advice?

You shouldn't be making any income. The donations wouldn't be taxable anyways. If you don't own any property then you shouldn't be paying any property taxes. 501(c)(3) status only helps you save property taxes. Just file as a 501(c)(7) instead. The main difference is that you would be subject to property taxes and the contributions wouldn't be tax deductible for the donors.
It's not a big deal unless you are trying to illicit enormous donations from people that only make donations that provide a tax deduction. I wouldn't worry about it too much.

When we were running VFA a dozen or so years ago, 501(c)3 status let us make tax-free purchases, and allowed people to donate materials and services as well as green foldables and deduct them from their taxes. We were also able to take advantage of lower postal rates for bulk mailings. VFA didn't own any property, so I can't answer to the property tax advantages.

English isn't much of a language for swearing. When I studied Ancient Greek I was delighted to discover a single word - Rhaphanidosthai - which translates roughly as "Be thou thrust up the fundament with a radish for adultery."
