I submitted the paperwork for a name search\/reservation.\u00a0 Of course you can do this online (for free), however it doesn\\&#8217;t work (of course) however at least I\\&#8217;ll have the paperwork needed to submit along with my pile of paperwork all for $37.00.\u00a0 So I\\&#8217;m pretty much going cross eyed reading reams of manuals, forms and applications.\u00a0 I was going the registered charity route, but after doing more research changed my mind.\u00a0 I know the government must have loved that!\u00a0 So now I\\&#8217;m back at square one, but that\\&#8217;s OK. \u00a0 Mainly because going not for profit offers my foundation more freedom in terms of who I can give my money to.\u00a0 Simply put: registered charities can only donate to other registered charities wheres NFP can donate to whomever they want to as long as they\\&#8217;re not for profit <strong>or<\/strong> a registered charity.<\/p>\n<p>This is turning into a slightly costly venture though I must say.\u00a0 I get the name check because then you get a patent and registration from the government.\u00a0 That\\&#8217;s important, people can look that stuff up and in order to hold events and what have you its crucial to this foundations well being.\u00a0 So to apply for that its $145.00 which I don\\&#8217;t currently have (but I will) then I have to go visit a notary and God knows how much <em>that\\&#8217;s<\/em> going to cost me.\u00a0 I get that too though because if they made it easy, then everyone and their mother would be registering not for profit\/charitable status for the tax benefits.\u00a0 It is however a bit of a hassle.\u00a0 The thing that\\&#8217;s the<span style=\\\"text-decoration: underline;\\\"><em><strong> most <\/strong><\/em><\/span>irritating?\u00a0 Having to download\/print a \\&#8221;translated version\\&#8221; of the paperwork!\u00a0 Because it has to be submitted in French (FFS!) such a hassle!\u00a0 They won\\&#8217;t accept it if you submit it on those forms *sigh* sooooo got that out of the way.\u00a0 Called my other directors (you need at least 3 people to do this) and now I\\&#8217;m playing the waiting game.<\/p>\n<p>Have to get the name OK first, which is on the way.\u00a0 Then I have to get the paperwork completed and signed by Krystal &amp; Donna.\u00a0 So I\\&#8217;m heading off to NDG on Wed to go see them and hang out for a bit.\u00a0 So if anything I feel like something is happening, even if its going to take a while.\u00a0 I like progress, its important.\u00a0 At least I think so.\u00a0 So in the meantime I\\&#8217;m going to start working on the website because that will likely take me longer then anything else.\u00a0 I can\\&#8217;t make it public until I get that paperwork, which sucks because I want to tell people but I haven\\&#8217;t told anyone as of yet.\u00a0 Its not that I don\\&#8217;t trust anyone, its more so if in the event that I don\\&#8217;t get the name that I want then I don\\&#8217;t have to run around and explain everything to everyone about the change and what not as well.\u00a0 Doesn\\&#8217;t matter because the domain is bought and paid for so no going back now lol.<\/p>\n<p>I\\&#8217;m going to bed, its not even 3am.\u00a0 My sleep schedule is kinda futzed up but I know I\\&#8217;m not the only one \ud83d\ude09\u00a0 Oh what I would give for a normal schedule, but then again I tend to loose track of time with some people.\u00a0 But its awesome when I do!\u00a0 However the whole lack of sleep thing sucks, especially when its not happening to you.\u00a0 I can at least go to sleep and I know that.\u00a0 I have lots to do though, laundry, buy some food for a change!\u00a0 Stuff like that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I do love me some progress!\u00a0 You know what I don\\&#8217;t particularly care for?\u00a0 The big ass pile of paperwork that\\&#8217;s currently on the other side of my bed.\u00a0 I could think of much better things to curl up into bed with&#8230;\u00a0 Anyway I registered a domain today, for Jason\\&#8217;s foundation &amp;
