So, lots has been going on lately. The nonprofit is somewhat in the process of being set up. Because the attorney pretty much bailed on us (thank you, Brad) we are going forward on our own registering Butterfly Kisses Carebaskets Incorporated as a corporation in North Carolina pretty much on our own. We're using Legal Zoom which is actually quite helpful. Hol and I just need to get in contact with the support guy there, Steve, so he can help us fill in a few of the blanks that we don't understand. The good news is that North Carolina has no laws for the age of directors of nonprofit organizations - which means that the organization can officially be in the names of Holly and I. That's super important to us because this is our thing. All expenses are going to be paid by us and we're doing this on our own by choice.
Once we finally have it set up as a corporation, the next step is to obtain a federal tax ID #. Then there are several more steps, but we're going to really get down to business and hope to have it start soon. Meanwhile, if any of you know of any children in NC who are battling any type of terminal illness or condition, please let me know with name and info. Thanks.
I think your non profit sounds like a great idea! If you ever need any help with paper work and legalities, please don't hesitate to ask. We're also in NC, and have dealt with the same process you are in setting up The Abby Marie Hope For A Cure. If you go to the Secretary of States website, all of the forms are there for you to download and fill out. It's really easy and only costs 60.00 to file your Articles of Incorporation. Hope all works out well for Butterfly Kisses Carebaskets Inc.! Email me if you ever need any help - robinson_amu@yahoo.com
