Subject: PUPT: Re: Non Profit Status


Hello All,

I've been off line for a bit, because Renaissance Artist is in the midst
of trying to get our Non Profit status.  One of the things that it is
strongly suggest to do, when preparing your paper work and budgets, is
to
look at other Non profits in your field.  So this is an all point
inquiry.

If your company is Non profit, and you both build and perform, in the DC 
north to Mass area,  and you have 2 to 4 staff members:  Would you be
willing to share a copy of your start up company budget, company plan,
and By laws.  These will strictly be used as examples to help us format
our own.  They will not be shared outside of our working unit to get our
paperwork filed.  And if you want them returned after, we will be happy
to do so.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

We are also taking a pole to see how many puppet companies, who are Non
profit, incorporated in more states than the one that they are residing
in and if they have, what kind of benefits they have found for doing so.

Thanks to all in advance for any assistance offered.

Sincerely,

Liz
