990-PF & Charitable Solicitations

This journal, besides sharing the progress of our emergence as an operating foundation, is also meant to be a useful reference or blueprint for anyone wanting to start their own NFP.  The biggest challenge for me, has been a lot of the compliance elements of the program.  It is almost tax time, and I am a bit freaked out.  This year has been less complex for reporting than in the future I am sure because the funding has been entirely from a single endowment provided by myself to the foundation.  Still, I am required to report all of the financials with regards to the use of our funds.  I will create a breakdown that will be made visible soon.

I actually like data entry, and creating graphs, and all sorts of crunching numbers, but when it comes to filling out forms, that is a different story.  Luckily the Foundations Group that has been instrumental to me starting this project has a program that will do this work for me.  I will try to share all that I learn for those who cannot afford their services.  

Stay tuned for more information!
