[Alumni-chat] 501 c3 status and sponsorship information

[Becky Klein]

I have been reading the various posts about quickly getting 501c3 status.    
Having worked in the non profit industry for the past 10 years this is not something done quickly.  

What is important for the alumni board to look for is 501c3 sponsorship.  
I wanted to put out a resource that I am familiar with, The Tides Foundation is a philanthropic organization that provides 501c3 sponsorship and assistance through their Tides Center projects.   Antioch's social justice mission is a perfect fit for becoming a Tides Center project.  To learn more about this foundation and the Tides Center and what sponsorship means.  Please go to this website.    http://www.tidescenter.org/index.php  

One of the major requirements is that the project has at 30,000 in funding, which from Rick's responses to Alan's questions it appears we have $400,000.  

If there are other alumni with grantwriting experience I would like to work on generating a letter of inquiry to the Tides Foundation.  I have some contacts there through other work that I have done that they have funded.    I can be reached via email at beckyklein94609 at yahoo.com
