Now that we have finished up with our efforts to try and make a difference by taking $100,000.00, ➗ it by a number of options, I get to spend the next 10 weeks trying hard to explain for Tax purposes where the money 💰 went.
For someone to have and operate a 501-C Non-profit organization is not all that unique, they are everywhere. But when you use yours to distribute money, there’s a different set of rules.
Being that this chore will take up a great deal of time for a while, I will create the list here. It will be very enjoyable to follow-up with the different people and situations as we go forward.
This page will be a work in progress for sure, so if this is of interest to you please check back from time to time.
