I figured they could get me the right information that I needed on tax status and charitable organizations.
After achieving a small degree of success in our specialized industry, I decided to use some of our supplier profits to create a small local charity foundation. I want to do something to help those struggling with their ongoing mental health. Often people have no clue where to turn where things get tough in their lives. If they don’t have medical insurance, they may wonder if there are any real options available to them. I want to bridge the gap between those people and the 1s that are already getting the mental help that they need. I did as much research as I could, and realized for myself that simply educating people would be a wonderful venue to start. And creating something for that purpose as easy as a 501c3 donation blog was where I’d begin. I could ask for local donations and create information packets for anyone who needs 1. As I got further and further in the planning stages, I realized I needed help. I had heard there was a new sort of enterprise center in town, which is essentially a supplier development organization. They actually offer all sorts of help and information for people trying to run their own small businesses of all sizes and markets. I figured they could get me the right information that I needed on tax status and charitable organizations. I was surprised by how much I quickly received. They even gave me a list of sites where I could rent a good deal of commercial office space if I ever grow enough to warrant hiring employees to help me on our charitable journey. Once I was finished, I felt like I made a wonderful use of our weekday at the supplier development center. I suppose I’ll be visiting them again soon here, to get more advice as I progress with our business.
