About 'michigan debt collection laws'|Debt Rattle, December 1 2008: Trying to avoid the unavoidable, but at what cost








You               hear               about               them               all               the               time.

Foundations.

Churches.

Initiatives               to               reduce               poverty               and               homeless,               to               feed               the               hungry.

These               types               of               organisations               are               geared               toward               helping               others,               and               while               they               don't               personally               profit               the               founder               (s)               of               these               companies,               at               least               when               starting               out--they               can               be               personally               rewarding               to               everyone               involved.

They               are               known               as               nonprofit               organisations,               for               a               very               specific               reasons.

One               cannot               legally               profit               from               them--all               monies               raised               must               be               sent               to               benefit               the               people               that               are,               according               to               the               bylaws               of               that               organisation,               to               be               helped.

Or               they               are               to               go               back               into               the               company               in               question,               funding               the               day               to               day               affairs               of               the               organisation.

For               example,               if               a               group               whose               purpose               is               to               help               the               homeless               were               to               take               a               church               collection               for               advertising,               the               founder               can't               pocket               the               funds,               or               even               part               of               them.

This               is               known               as               embezzlement,               and               can               get               that               individual               in               a               lot               of               trouble.

In               short,               the               monies               are               to               be               used               for               the               purpose               they               were               collected               for.
               Does               that               mean               that               you               must               go               without               a               salary,               or               a               means               of               paying               your               people?

No.

There               is               one               legal               way               around               that               fate,               but               don't               expect               me               to               tell               you               that               it's               easy.

You               must               become               good               at               grant               writing.

That               is               the               key               that               unlocks               that               door.

You               must               find               a               company,               or               foundation,               whose               interests               match               yours.

If               you               are               on               a               campaign               to               relieve               homelessness,               for               example,               you               must               find               a               foundation,               or               a               company               that               is               interested               in               bankrolling               such               organisations.

And               you               must               spell               out               your               needs;               you               must               state               your               case               clearly               and               accurately.

There               are               strict               deadlines,               you               must               be               concise,               and               your               grant               must               be               free               of               errors.

Or               it               will               be               sent               back.
               But               that               is               a               different               paper               altogether.

The               purpose               of               this               discussion               is               to               talk               about               how               to               start               a               nonprofit               organisation               of               your               own.

First,               you               must               find               a               Vision,               or               a               dream.

You               must               find               a               problem               in               society               that               you               feel               God               has               called               you               to               have               a               strong               hand               in               solving.

Comedian               Jerry               Lewis,               for               example,               for               some               reason               he               refuses               to               tell               us               til               this               very               day--has               a               heartfelt               passion               for               helping               kids               with               the               deadly,               still               currently               incurable               muscular               dystrophy.

Out               of               that               comes               the               Muscular               Dystrophy               Association,               which               produces               the               yearly               Labour               Day               Telethon.

Many               of               you               will               watch               it               this               Labour               Day               weekend               on               Sunday               night,               September               6               until               Labour               Day,               Sept.

7.

Many               of               you               will               laugh,               many               of               you               will               cry,               and               many               of               you               who               have               the               means               to               give               will               even               pledge.
               The               next               move               to               make               is               to               write               it               down.

The               very               wise               words               of               the               Bible               can               be               found               in               Habakkuk               2:               2,               which               says,               "Write               the               Vision--make               it               plain               upon               tables,               that               they               may               run               that               readeth               it."               Why               do               I               say               this?

Because               you               are               going               to               need               people               who               will               run               with               you.

There               is               nothing               worse               than               a               person               who               is               forced               to               run               a               non-profit--or               any               other               business               for               that               matter--alone.

It               is               next               to               impossible.

Even               Jesus               Christ,               the               founder               of               the               first               major               successful               non               profit               organisation,               the               Church--recognised               that               he               needed               help.

He               founded               His               organisation,               and               chose               12               people               to               help               Him               get               His               work               started.

That               organisation,               known               as               the               Church,               is               still               thriving               today,               even               though               its               Leader               is               long               gone.
               Next,               you               will               want               to               do               research.

Go               out               on               a               fact               finding               mission               to               see               if               your               Vision               is               already               being               done               by               someone               else.

For               example,               it's               fine               you               want               to               help               people               get               out               of               debt,               but               if               there               are               three               other               organisations               with               the               same               goal--then,               instead               of               forming               your               own               group,               you               may               want               to               team               up               with               other               groups               doing               the               same               thing.
               But               should               you               see               the               need               for               your               nonprofit               in               the               community,               you               are               going               to               want               to               build               a               work               that               survives               even               your               departure               from               the               scene.

That               means               that               not               only               should               you               select               people,               but               you               should               choose               individuals               who               see               your               Vision.

If               your               Vision               is               feeding               and               clothing               the               hungry               and               the               naked,               select               individuals               who               feel               it               the               way               you               do,               who               are               just               as               passionate               as               you               are.(Sidebar:               How               to               identify               those               people               will               be               a               topic               of               another               paper.)
               The               next               thing               to               do               is               to               get               Incorporated.

By               so               doing,               you               protect               yourself               from               a               personal               lawsuit.

They               can               sue               a               person,               but               they               can't               sue               a               corporation               quite               as               easily.

What               happens               is,               the               corporation               becomes               a               separate               entity,               or               person,               from               its               founder.

It               takes               on               a               whole               life               of               its               own.

How               do               you               do               this?

Call               your               state               offices,               or               your               local               Chamber               of               Commerce.

There               is               a               small               fee,               say,               maybe               $10-$25.
               Incorporating               is               a               major               step               towards               the               all-too               important               501c3               status.

You               have,               maybe               a               year               and               a               half,               to               finalise               your               501c3,               or               tax-exempt               status.

Without               this               you               cannot               raise               monies,               advertise               on               radio,               or               do               anything.

That's               the               law.

And               getting               through               the               paperwork               will               cost               you.

Please               google               the               laws               for               your               state               for               the               exact               price.

It               varies.

But               in               Michigan,               for               example,               $500               will               get               you               tax               exemption               up               to               around               $10,000.

Generally,               you               will               have               a               year               and               a               half-               to               two               years               to               finalise               the               501c3               process.

This               is               sooooo               important--local               radio/TV               advertisers               won't               even               look               at               advertising               for               you               without               such               paperwork               filled               out!

That               is               your               ticket               to               advertising,               to               respectability               as               a               non-profit.
               You               may               say,               "Koolbreeze,               I               don't               have               the               money               right               now.

How               can               I               fundraise?"               So               glad               you               asked               that               question,               my               friend.

Seek               a               fiduciary               agreement               with               your               pastor,               or               a               friend               who               has               a               successful               nonprofit.

Let               that               person               serve               as               your               fiduciary               person               until               you               are               able               to               afford               your               own               501c3               paperwork.

Mind               you,               you               may               not               have               the               independence               you               want               right               now,               but               it's               a               good               start.

But               you               must               have               that               piece               of               paper.

Think               of               that               piece               of               paper               as               a               driving               permit--a               piece               of               paper               you               must               carry               around               with               you               that               enables               you               to               drive               under               supervision               of               a               licensed               adult,               until               such               a               time               as               you               get               your               own               full-fledged               license.
               The               next               thing               to               do               is               to               schedule               interviews               with               people               who               may               be               interested               in               partnering               with               you,               or               advertising               with               you.

These               are               BUSINESS               meetings,               and               you               must               treat               them               as               such.

Come               there               organised,               and               appropriately               dressed.

Be               ready               to               give               a               simple               presentation               of               what               you               are               all               about.

Keep               it               concise               and               be               respectful               of               the               time               they've               chosen               to               give               you.

In               the               case               of               a               public               presentation,               if               you               are               given               10               minutes               to               communicate               your               message,               take               eight.

Don't               take               the               whole               time.

Hit               the               important               points               and               yield               back               the               balance               of               your               time.

Conciseness               is               the               key               here.

Don't               try               to               oversell               your               product               or               service.

Don't               take               too               long.

That               will               be               a               mark               against               your               organisation.

You               won't               be               invited               back.
               Also...be               prepared               to               provide               the               service,               or               fundraiser,               you               say               you               are               going               to               provide               the               day               and               time               you               say               you               are               going               to               provide               it.

If               you               want               to               hold               a               car               wash,               for               example--make               sure               the               arrangements               for               that               fundraiser               have               been               made.

Make               a               list               of               all               people               who               have               agreed               to               be               volunteers               on               that               day.

Furthermore,               don't               just               pick               one               day,               also               pick               a               rain               date.

For               example,               if               you               choose               Saturday,               April               27               as               your               day,               pick               a               rain               date,               say               May               18               as               a               backup.

In               other               words,               have               a               BACKUP               plan,               or               plan               B.
               The               next               thing               you               will               want               to               do               is               advertise,               advertise,               advertise.

Call               your               local               radio               station.

In               choosing               a               station,               examine               things               such               as               cost               as               well               as               your               intended               demographic--i.e.,               the               people               who               will               benefit               the               most.

If               you               know               that               for               a               given               project               your               demographic               is               African-American               churchgoers,               you               may               want               to               advertise               on               an               African-American               station,               such               as               WJLB               in               Detroit,               or               The               Touch               in               Kalamazoo,               some               excellent               radio               stations               in               that               particular               demographic               here               in               Michigan.

Advertising               goes               a               long               way.
               Finally,               be               patient.

Don't               be               discouraged.

Just               because               it's               not               paying               you               personally,               is               no               reason               to               give               up.

It               will               one               day,               if               you               keep               at               it,               and               write               grants,               and               connect               with               the               proper               people.

For               this               reason,               it's               best               not               to               focus               on               how               it               will               reward               you.

Your               main               reward               will               be               that               you               are               doing               something               worthwhile               for               someone               else.
