We've a lot of clever people on this forum, everyone chime in with ideas!! Think up ideas and let's see if they'll fly.
Yes, we are a non-profit 501(c)(3). There are many, many 501s asking for money. So far no one has given anything. We have applied for a grant from a local organization and will find out sometime in March if it's approved. There is an enormous amount of paperwork that goes into "asking" and yes, we do that.
