Secular Overeaters had considered pursuing 501(c)3 nonprofit status for many years. However, after long and careful consideration, the SO Board chose to partner with a fiscal sponsor instead. In early 2026 we began talking with Atheists United (AU), an organization that shares our secular values, and our fiscal sponsorship was finalized in late September 2026. In exchange for 5% of our annual donations, AU provides SO with a dedicated business bank account, the additional option of accepting credit or debit cards for donations, insurance, and tax-exempt status. While AU is our operational partner, Secular Overeaters still maintains full autonomy over all programmatic and strategic decisions, community initiatives, and daily operations—what a score for us!

If you’re an official OA meeting, you’re supposed to use only OA “conference-approved” literature. Here’s a list of OA readings (mostly from books) that are deity-free.
Secular OA Lifeline Stories
Volunteers compiled this list of secular and god-lite OA Lifeline stories for use at secular meetings or by individuals, and they are conference-approved! Your meeting can also make a copy of the Google Sheet and add things like a column to track the stories you’ve used.is4between
