(again include all categories)

What a joy to connect as one in these auspicious times of change and awakening! Thank you for your interest in our project Tink's Umbrella, fiscal sponsor program. The more money we retain in the hands of those who serve, rather than the IRS, the better our lives will be. That foundational wisdom is the impetus behind Tink's Umbrella. Applying for and obtaining 501c3 status with the IRS is costly, time consuming and invasive. We were blessed with this organization when we adopted Flowers of Hope, a 501c3 already in operation, ready to retire and rest. Peace Production was born with a name change to the founding corporation. We now share that blessing with others who live as Heartists... from the Heart for the greater good of all.
The process of having a nonprofit umbrella provide support, education, and status... is fairly simple, but there are some basic tenets that you would need to understand.
1. Money is not to flow from the nonprofit to a for profit company or individual.
2. Income and expenditures are public information and must be available for viewing by anyone who asks.
3. Transparency is key for all transactions.
The benefits of 501c3 status in the US are vast. As we bridge the old world of corporate dominion and the new world of individual sovereignty, those corporations active in the world can make donations and write the donation off their taxes, supporting the people rather than the War machine. Individuals may make donations and reduce their tax burden, redirecting funds to community they support; and businesses may find supporting a nonprofit a good marketing strategy. Marketing and advertising dollars are also reduced from net income before paying taxes, thereby deductible expenses.
While there are many organizations in the USA with 501c3 status, including the Tribes, often the specific organizations require burdensome processes to sponsor another group or activity. Like the United Way, the original umbrella nonprofit, any organization under their umbrella is bound strictly to their directives and fees are high, making the process worth little.
Peace Production's Tink's Umbrella is not a shelter from the rain as most umbrellas are used, but rather... a blessing that rains upon those within... a blessed Light from above. We offer nonprofit training and support, grant writing assistance, program development and guidance. We are experienced in the realms of government business and share that with our co-creators.
I have attached a sample contract for your review. To come under the Umbrella, we ask a fee for service that will establish your nonprofit organization legally and a small percentage of the funds you receive to cover our administrative expenses related to the project. Common fees are 10% to 15% in the world, but ours range from 5% for a one time small fundraising event up to 8% for a large fully grown organization. Spirit Tribe would most likely fall in the 5.5% to 6.5% range, if I understand your project.
In addition to our other services, to ensure that your interests are kept in integrity, we offer one of our Board Members (Peace Council) to represent you in our meetings... for example, Nature Flow could be that director for you... or there may be another WisdomKeeper that you would like to have sit on our Council. All that is determined through the Umbrella process.
I could go on... but let's leave this for now. As you assimilate this information and commune together about the direction Spirit Tribe is moving forward in... we are here to serve. We have deep love, respect and honor for ALL Indigenous Peoples and know our own selves as indigenous... at least our bodies are. :) Our spirits come from the Stars!
