I have been out of the country this month, so I haven't gotten much done on the non-profit. I will return on the Jan 29th. I want to update you guys on what we are planning and thinking for this year.
Current plan for the non-profit:
1. Apply for a grant through theKuni Foundation. Due by Feb 27th. Looks like a grant special made for our non-profit. I'm going to go after around $10k.
2. Request estimate and contract for drawing cost- 3D & Overhead drawings if under $2k. Drawings will be added to the Proposal for Funding.
3. Request an estimate for the construction of various types of buildings: wood, block, 3D, and containers. We need to find the least expensive. And put this estimate in our request from Kuni.
4. My plan is still to finish the Proposal of Funding. I have about 75% done. I have attached a basic one that I am going to attach the Kuni Grant Proposal for Funding.
5. Go back to look for more grants
6. Work diligently on outreach to find more board members and members. Flyers and emails haven't been working, so I would like to see about mailers.
It looks like a village of 4 acres of about 175 units with 6 Adult Family homes in the middle, might be possible. The size of the lot and units is changeable. A lot depends on the total construction cost and the interest rates at the time to finance. We are looking at 40-50 million. More and the project becomes unaffordable.
