I haven't done very much this month. My main goal is to get another board member. From there I will send out the Tax form for 501(c)(3), that I have been working on. It is a short form.

I have been posting videos on the Facebook page. Seems like a good place for that. We have also reworked the front page of the website to look better. https://www.thenextwaveinhousing.org/

The other board member's son is designing a logo that we can use. I decided to change the name to “Next Wave Housing '' after seeing this from a pamphlet that he produced as well. Looks shorter and more professional!

So I sent in the paperwork to the SOS WA to change the name and have not heard back from them. I have sent in new Articles of Incorporation that have the name change on it as well. Even though I have not received an official ok I bought the domain name “Nextwavehousing.org” and am in the process of making sure both websites work. In the fall I will only have one. So if one does not work, try the other one for now. I have also sent in the annual report for the non profit. It is due every August.

I received a contact from a gentleman that runs a non profit out of Monroe “Heather Hope Communities”. He has expressed interest in our project and hopefully will join our cause as a new board member. That would mean we have 3 old white guys running this non profit. Not very diversified. It would be nice to get women, POC or someone with a disability to join. I would like to stick to 5 board members for now.

After we get three board members I will send out the tax forms for tax exemption. That takes about 2-4 weeks. Real quick when you use the EZ form. When that is turned in, we can then start looking for grants. I want to present to the board members to see if they are interested in using DVA as a consulting firm to design the community. They have international clout. The cost is about $30k, so that might be the first grant we can go after. I haven't done much thinking beyond this grant. Operating cost and outreach grants would be nice. I would wait until DVA produces their work to go after the sponsors for the whole site if we use them. I still think getting one or two sponsors for the whole amount would be the quickest, compared to a lot of different sources. But we should go after both kinds.
