Coastal Community Foundation A Huge Debt of Gratitude

It’s tough when you don’t know what you don’t know! It takes a lot of time and effort – not to mention the endless forms – to secure non-profit status. In the meantime, thank God for the Coastal Community Foundation. They agreed to be our fiscal sponsor! Translation, they are comfortable with BNC operating under their 501(c)3 status until we receive our own. Special thank you to Darrin Goss and Kaela Hammon of CCF!
