New Charity

So my friends and I are looking to start a new charity. I've already begun to contact some lawyers and look up the rules and groundwork for creating a 501c(3) Nonprofit Corporation. My goal is, as soon as possible, to have the entity created, so that we can begin work.



So what is the goal of the charity itself? To preserve/protect the cultural landmark that is the Rufus M. Rose House, to provide some Job Opportunities in Atlanta, and after several 'cultural' landmarks have been met, proceeds from operations will be donated to Atlanta-area Homeless Shelters and Food Banks.



What are some of our Cultural Landmarks?



-To recoup the $240 cost of the production of the first Rufus Rose Short Film. This will give us resource and capability to begin planning to remake the film. You can see the film here.



-To setup a website to increase cultural awareness of the Rose House, and support my own blog about Atlanta Ghosthunting.



-To eventually buy/lease the Rufus M. Rose house, restore it, and commercialize it. This will include turning it into a small gift-shop with maybe kitchen/bar, a living museum (like it was in the 1950s) where people can stay in rooms remodelled to look like they were at the turn of the century. Add on to this a walking tour of Peachtree Street concentrating on the fun and paranormal sites in the city; and it should do well to produce jobs as well as profit, which as I explained earlier, will be donated to charity.



How can you support us?



-Staff. We need volunteers in the Atlanta Area who are willing to help us. Specifically those who are proficient in how to set up a charity organization. But also, AV people and internet marketers. If you would like to contribute, Email Me.



-Donations. Unfortunately, as we do not have a 501c3 setup yet, we can't provide donation receipts. However, we are still accepting donations from the community, 100% of this will go into legal fees to form our 501c(3) Corporation.

-Spread the word. Tell someone about this blog, or better yet, about the movie! As more info becomes available, I'll update it here! Thanks so much!!!
