The first book in a series of guides on how to start up and run a non-profit community art center and fund the center with untapped resources destined for the landfill. The first book in the series gives instructions on how to name your organization, how to register as a non-profit with the state and federal government agencies, how to find sources of funding and tap into the world of volunteerism. This book is genuine in the information it provides to anyone interested in creating a self-sustaining community center invested in launching social change within their community. Included are IRS instructions, Volunteer and Employee Handbooks and other important forms needed for any start up organization. At the end of the book, Art of Recycle offers the reader an opportunity to apply for a Fiscal Sponsorship under the Umbrella of Art of Recycle's 501(c)3 status.
