Submission for Legal Assistance
This year marks our second year with now two talented and aspiring recepients. Knowing these two great young adults is an inspiration in itself to make this happen. They are truly living Stephanie's dream. We love and miss you Steph, your dreams will live on through these individuals and future recepients.
Tomorrow, I will be submitting the paperwork to the New York Lawyers Alliance for their legal assistance for the incorporation and tax exemption of the scholarship as an organization. It will be the only way for generous donors to be able to put their donations on their taxes at the end of the year. There have been many wonderful people who have been wanting to donate now but its only fair to wait for this process to take place.
It has taken me some time but now being focused to complete this has settled in.
Goals:
1- Incorporate
2- Tax Exemption
3- Possibly creating an Endowment - (so the scholarship can live on forever)
Any suggestions or advice is welcome. I will try my best to post updates as this process gets started until its completion.
Sincerely,
Diana
Steph's Aunt
