We are overjoyed to convey our deepest gratitude to the Board for your unwavering dedication and tireless efforts in meticulously organizing and submitting the paperwork required for our nonprofit status. We are thrilled to share the fantastic news that, as of yesterday, January 10, 2024, we have received our determination letter, officially granting us the coveted 501(c)(3) nonprofit status.
This milestone is a significant achievement for our organization, opening up new avenues for growth and development. With our nonprofit status secured, we are now poised to apply for grants that will not only sustain our organization but also enable us to extend meaningful support to the talented artists we are privileged to work with.
The grants we secure will be instrumental in funding our initiatives, and they will also play a pivotal role in our annual booklet, where we plan to showcase and acknowledge our valued supporters. This booklet will serve as a platform to recognize and promote the businesses and organizations that stand behind our cause. We firmly believe that by spotlighting our supporters, we can strengthen our collaborative network and spread awareness about their contributions.
As we celebrate this milestone, we remain committed to our vision and goals. Step by step, we are achieving significant milestones that propel us forward. Looking ahead, we are eager to extend our reach to state and federal entities, fostering collaborations that not only endorse our identity but also extend support to Official State Recognized Tribes across the United States.
This journey is a testament to the dedication of our board members, and we are excited about the possibilities that lie ahead. Together, we will continue making a positive impact on the lives of artists and the communities we serve.
