SFC / 501c3 Updates
Jonathan Dilly (Evergreen Project Attorney) indicates that we need to set up our own bank account as soon as possible.
SFC will not send the initial $20,000 in grant funds to The Evergreen Project until the bank account is set up and an invoice can be sent directly from The Evergreen Project.
After SFC grant funds are received, an annual report must be given to them at the end of the SFC's fiscal year (which runs March through February) each year until non-profit status is achieved and all funds transferred. The grant report should detail all expenditures made from granted funds. Mr. Dilly should be able to assist with ensuring that this report contains the appropriate information.
We cannot file the 1023 forms until the bank account is set up.
All communications with the SFC be passed through Mr. Dilly.
TO DO: Mike Rylander will ask Scott Thomas (previous Vice Chair) to pass 1023 document and any other documents to new President.
TO DO: The outgoing board recommends that the incoming board requests a complete ledger for the Evergreen account held by the SFC.
