Types of Non Profits
Non Profit Memorials and Tributes
The majority of people that have lived life upon this earth have left without anything to show for their life, other than a few memories they have left their children- some good, some bad. One of the reasons more is not left is that life is busy and many do not get around to thinking about the impact a memorial, scholarship, or grant could make to others once they are gone. That is where family members can make sure that person is never forgotten.
Creating a memorial is simple, easy and uncomplicated to maintain. We can help you create a nonprofit memorial around the person’s favorite interests or charities. We can even help you create the memorial fund in time to present others with a way to honor and remember those who have passed on instead of gifts or flowers. We at Ocean Grand want to help you create a memorable and positive way to remember a loved family member, a fallen soldier, or just a special friend you will miss. By creating a memorial it is a way that person’s life and memory can continue living and impacting others in a positive way.
A nonprofit Memorial can:
* Enable others to give financial gifts in lieu of flowers
* Use assets the person left to benefit others in a positive way
* Employ you or others to help others in an ongoing way
* Be willed to other family members
* Be a family foundation that lives on through generations
Get in touch with us at Ocean Grand to create a nonprofit memorial for a loved one or even for yourself that will live on once you are gone.
Why The CDP Program is Different
Most people who are doing non-profit work need an organizational structure within which to do their work, accept donations, and find ongoing funding. Many set up a non-profit 501c3 which costs thousands of dollars to start and maintain (which we can also do). However, this can be accomplished much easier and less expensively by setting up their own 501c3 through Ocean Grand and the Congressional District Program (CDP).
Family Foundations
Whether a family is wealthy or not, throughout the year they give (or would like to give) charitably to something. Many give to their church, orphan network, missionaries, humane society, American Red Cross, or other charitable organizations. To give to a charity you need to know of the charity you want to give to.
Instead, a family should have their own foundation or family project with 501c3 status that they can give to on a monthly or yearly basis. The funds given to the foundation are instantly tax deductible, and are maintained, like a savings account, in their account. Then when they give charitably, they can give out of the funds in their foundation when the time arises with more effectiveness and ability.
