Business Formation Update
Stack is converting to a nonprofit. It should be long to the people it serves, and not to just me trying to buy a boat and retiring as a millionaire. WTF was I thinking?
*** The Update.
1) Stack is close to being approved for fiscal sponsorship in the next week, then I will start planning a fundraising campaign. And this is what I specialized in college to do. In fact, I just wrote a grant proposal for a $985 grant. I will find out if I am chosen for the first round of interviews on Sep 1, 2023.
2) The T-shirts sales have been just 2. I am working to improve those processes and have added a Pinterest account in addition to a new Instagram and a Blogger. But, the Blogger account is really going to focus on the climate resilience piece and the 10 Steps from Good Grief Network, their new book.
3) I am seriously considering selling drop-shopped coffee beans that are named after my new adopted city in Washington state.
4) My first climate resilience support group meeting is tentatively scheduled for early November.
5) I want to start the ball rolling on a first event, a partnership for a preparedness Workshops and schedule it for October.
6) I just got in new stickers, 1.5' and 1.8". In 2 designs, qty. 200
7) I am going to look into buying a Cascadia Earthquake book in bulk to sell at events.
Drew... You should totes check out your friend, Ivonne Rivero from K-Boo radio 90.7 Portland and online. I worked there for a hot minute and tore shit up.(not really). It was beautiful, I met so many folx in the social justice space. Maybe Ivonne could interview me on the air so her audience could check out the first workshop! En español, of course. Maybe Pilar or someone could do it GASP! I could make it a project with Roxy of Somos Media! That is slay.
