Case Statement for Support

Well, i've been working on a document called a Case Statement for the organization. It's something that articulates what it is that we're about. It describes the Catalyst vision and mission, programs, and other stuff that will help make the case for why someone might want to support us and help advance the vision. Once this document is done, i'll be able to produce all other materials - brochures, Web site content, letters to donors, grants, and the all important federal application for non-profit status!

Forming a new non-profit organization is both exciting and scary - not to mention costly and laborious. I'm hoping to set the foundation for it in place so that i can share the vision with others and put together a team of people who would do this thing with me! I've already talked to lots of people who are all "in to" this vision for Catalyst.

Earlier this week, I received our first donation check! It's so encouraging to know that people are willing to back what we're trying to do with the needed $$.
