501-3C STATUS APPROVED!

What we have been waiting for has finally arrived.  Our 501-3C status has been approved.  There is no doubt in my mind that the Foundations Group was the critical factor.  Also, finally filing the 990 with the IRS.  Late, yes, but as is apparent by our success, better late than never.

It is interesting that I have been waiting on this status in order to begin formal fundraising, and I can tell you now, I think that was a mistake.  All donations made from our original filing in October 2020 would have been approved for a tax write-off.

So many things are in full movement right now, I am not sure even how to begin this whole fundraising effort.  Early in our start-up, we had made a decision to use a relationship approach to fundraising, based on the book, "The Generosity Network."  I believe we have been working on our relationships, but so far we haven't had much success in raising funds.

Still, I have faith.  

Keep your eyes open for our donate button as I make an attempt to navigate this process.  And if you like what we are doing, please donate.  You can even officially write it off.
