Browsing the lists of election system users on wikipedia, a couple of US
tax-exempt orgs stand out:

LOPSA: A 501(c)(3) using Meek's STV
http://governance.lopsa.org/LOPSA_Bylaws#Election_of_Directors

SPI: A 501(c)(3) using Schulze
http://www.spi-inc.org/corporate/resolutions/2003/2003-01-06.wta.1/

It seems unlikely that we would be breaking new ground as a non-profit
with either of these.
