Hey--good luck on this homeschooling grant stuff. What are you going to call it? I am so tuition pooooooor it's not even funny. Two homeschoolers at home still and one in college. That Abeka video program is high! I like it, but I think it's pricey!!
|
Oh boy, I paid for those ABeka videos and then DVD's for many many years! It was $1,000 per year back then; not sure how much it's gone up.

For the record, becoming a 501c non-profit requires tons of paperwork! I know....we filed for 501C status for our Competition!
Good luck!

Re: I'm Starting A Grant for Homeschooled Apostoli
We had to go through that 501C-3 paperwork too, for each church and for the ministry covering. It is a pain, but we got a professional to help us - a guy in Ohio. That's part of what his company does for churches. I'm not sure if he works with other para-church organizations or not. Steven, if you would like to talk to him, let me know.

Seeing these comments and knowing you are from the same state, I question whether the level of difficulty varies from state to state. I am somewhat familiar with several 501C3 orgs in MO and have not heard that it is tough to acheive.
I have a legal advisor working on this (investigating) pro bono and I'll let you know what we discover.
Thanks!

Re: I'm Starting A Grant for Homeschooled Apostoli
I have filed said paperwork before. It is a lot of work but its worth it for a worthy cause.
Without it, your always suspicious in the IRS eyes. Not fun. Status keeps you on the up and up in their eyes....just food for thought!

Right. Also, we must have it to allow those contributing to take a tax deduction.

Re: I'm Starting A Grant for Homeschooled Apostoli
Couple of questions.
1. Are you going to have a panel to decide who wins the grant?
2. Are you planning on having a qualification requirments?
Such as: Grade, community involvment, etc.???
I think this is a great idea.
As to a universal name, I will think on it.

There will be a panel or board, of which I will be Chairman or Administrator or Facilitator - whatever it's called.
The first and primary qualification will be a Homeschooled, Oneness Pentecostal student. (the board will have the ability to make exceptions)
The application will also provide for information as you noted, and their aspirations for a college education and their career orientation.
