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. Â That is where family members can make sure that person is never forgotten.
At Ocean Grand, we mourn the loss of tragedies and deaths that have taken place and we want to be a catalyst of healing and resolve. We want to extend an invitation to people who are legacy builders to leave a story of the their family members who have passed on and what they lived their life for, to those that will come after them. A memorial nonprofit project can begin a legacy so that others will have no doubt that their life counted and the legacy they left continues counting everyday.
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.
AÂ 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.
How it works:
Most people who are interested in setting up a nonprofit memorial need an organizational structure within which to do their work, accept donations, and manage activities. Many set up a nonprofit 501c3 which costs thousands of dollars to start and maintain (which we can also do.) However, this can be accomplished much easier and less expensive by setting up a 501c3 project through Ocean Grand and the CDP program. With a 501c3 nonprofit set up through CDP, all of your administration, paperwork, banking, and staying within the IRS guidelines are taken care of, leaving you free to spend more time doing the nonprofit work you like. Ocean Grand can set up an individual or organization with full nonprofit status in just a few weeks. Ongoing costs are minimal at most, saving you time and making the most of your efforts.
Many families, individuals and organizations actually doing nonprofit work funnel their funding through an already existing organization that charges them 10-15% for administration fees. Ocean Grand greatly reduces those fees by administering everything your organization does, including all your banking and filings for 6.5%. Ocean Grand also eliminates the need for forwarding agents or others to get you your donations once it comes in. All donations go to one address and you can wire money, or disburse one or multiple checks to anywhere you or others are in the world. For nonprofit work outside of the United States, this is especially beneficial because the individual or organization has instant access to funds whenever and however they need them.
