It's time to get the ball rolling, folks. I've blogged all I can blog. Now it's time to get down to the nittty-gritty; we need grant money to get this project underway. Here's the Catch-22: Grant sources, whether private, corporate or government, require that the group requesting funding be a 501c3 non-profit corporation. It isn't cheap to create a legal not-for-profit organization. On top of state and local filing fees, associated incorporation costs, and attorney fees, the IRS demands $750.00 to grant non-profit, tax-exempt status. Outrageous, but true. You have to have money to not make money. Therefore, we are now asking for donation pledges for The Planned Animal-Lovers (PAL) Community in order to incorporate as a 501c3 Non-Profit Organization.
We're not asking for actual money yet, just your pledge to donate. Our pledge goal is $2000.00 . When we have enough promised to cover the costs of incorporating, including the $750 IRS filing fee, then we will ask you to send your contributions to a special account earmarked for The Planned Animal Lovers Community Incorporation Fund.
If there are any funds left over after the legal corporation is a reality, it will be applied to the next stages of the project. I hope you will all join in and contribute your knowledge and skills to the planning and development of this unique community; it will be fun!
