Non-Profit Status: We have just recently been made aware that through the help of WAACO, we have been provided with some pro-bono legal aid to help in finishing our 501 (c) (3) application, which upon approval will give us non-profit tax exempt status from the I.R.S. We will be working with two law students, as well as a supervising attorney from Gonzaga University to complete this application.
Supplies Purchased: As many of you may have noticed, we have a list of items posted on this blog as well as on our website (www.adelantenow.org) that Adelante needs. I am happy to announce that many books and other items from that list have been purchased already (those have subsequently been removed from the list). However, there is still a great number of things that we would like to see donated. One item that we are adding to the list are thumb drives. We would like to be able to provide thumb drives to students (based on availability) but would need to gather a stock of them before we advertise this benefit to students. If any of you are upgrading to larger size flash/thumb drives please consider donating us your old ones. Thank you again for all of those who donated books and money in response to the list we posted.
Airplane Miles: Adelante is always in need of airplane miles as we do incur costs traveling back and forth from the United States to Nicaragua a couple times a year. If you have any that you would like to donate to us, please contact us personally and we can work that out.
Fundraising: In our last update we talked about the financial consultant, Austin, who was helping us in creating a stable future for Adelante. In an effort to create this secure future for Adelante we are in need of more fundraising. We have small events occurring here and there but are always open to other fundraising ideas that you might have. We are more than willing to collaborate and support you if you have an idea for fundraising.
