Guest guest Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 My knowledge on Non profit organization is about zip to nil. But I am doing some reading on it, as I have been asked several times why don't I apply for non profit status since I have so many ideas and plans for this group. It would make all donatiions from the private and public sector tax deductible. I think? I would probably have to go through some type of foundation to apply for a grant. That much I do know. But you have to be a non profit or applied for a non profit status in order to apply for the grants. See the catch 22 part of it. To apply you have to fill out a 501 © for the tax status in the United States. Thanks Tim for your offer of support, Hon. I appreciate it. And when and IF that is a big IF , I do get a non profit status then I will be knock, knockin' on your door. My draw backs is CAN I do this? Do I have the support bases for this? Do I even have the knowledge to do this?? I know what I want to do. Just not how to get it started. I wanna help folks dang it.

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 Janet, I think your idea is a wonderful one, however (you knew that was coming didn't you?), from watching another group apply for Charity status (something I'd recommend rather than non-profit), it's an awful lot of work and more than a few $$$. I wouldn't recommend you do it right now. Not with probable treatment coming up for you next year. By all means gather all the required paperwork but seriously, I think take care of Janet first and foremost, THEN take care of the group. I don't think there's one member here who would argue with that. I'm not saying you shouldn't do this at all. I am saying, get treatment out of the way and when your health is good, go for it! luv anne Want to run something pass you guys This has been on my mind for a long time. And I have been kicking it back and forths the whys and the why nots. I have been thinking of applying for our group a non-profit status, I would have to contact a attorney to draw up the paperworks and so forth.

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 Janet, I think that is a wonderful idea, as I sit and read the posts from the members that are struggling with their insurance etc. I too was wondering what could be done to help them. I vote yes, anything I can do to help let me know. Everyone is so kind and friendly that when one is in trouble everyone hurts.

This is a pretty active group and we are really a good group. Okay that is some of my thinking. My whys for's doing a non-profit status, is many times in this group I have gotten and you have gotten post about folks with no insurance, no money to pay for the drugs we take and so forth. And I get so darn frustrated because there is nothing I can do but either recommend another non-profit organization, and alot of the time they are not set up for that sort of help or I have to find a organization that will treat individuals and that is not always possible because of location of the organization and location of the individual. I have been asked before to apply for non-profit status because this group is a great group and people can see that we are a lot of help to one another. Now my reasons for wanting to go for non-profit, is that I can do the donation thingy:" you can't do that unless you are a non-profit organization and get the tax write off. I am pretty sure I am right. And I am not even sure if you are not a non-profit organization if you can even ask for donations. That is why I need to talk to a lawyer about this. One of the programs I would like to have is a medical needs program: set up a program so that throughout the country (and I would have to limit this to the USA ) because I am not sure of international laws. I am not a lawyer. But the medical needs program would provide, care from a physician (in the network that I would set up) Help to get the medication needed by individuals who can not afford the medication. Provide public education Transportation for those who need rides and can not afford it. And so forth. I know this sounds like a big undertaking and I would have to start say like in those areas where I would have people who were with the organization and so forth. Let me give you a for instance: I am here in Southwestern Oklahoma, but I could easily set up so some of these plans for say, Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas, Kansas and Mo. And if I had people who wanted to work for the organization in other places then I could start programs in their areas. Be more than organization that just is in name only but one that works for the people it reaches out too. I might be biting more off than I can chew. That is why I am asking your thoughts. Because sometimes my big mouth overloads my mouse butt. What are your ideas??? Love Janet Take the ordinary things of life, and make them your own.
