I'm involved in co-organizing a new non-profit community resource, called "MOTHER". This purpose of this organization is designed to support individuals and groups that are seeking to respond to unmet needs in the local community, through fiscal sponsorship.
Many of us are doing volunteer work that would benefit from being funded. However, unless we become a non-profit, we lose out on donations that would benefit the donors with a tax write off. Through fiscal sponsorship, we are able to receive contributions that would benefit our work. This eliminates the need for each of us to obtain non-profit status.
We are in the developmental phase. We are listed in Facebook, under MOTHER non-profit.org
Please like us, and ask questions there. We also have a newly developed website under the same name.
If anyone in the community would like to become involved, and has skills that might be useful, please contact us through Facebook.
Those with experience in developing non-profits would be a definite plus. We will be notifying the community when we have a schedule of informational meetings.
