Hello Everyone!
I can’t believe how fast time is flying, it seems as if it was just yesterday that you all helped me with last years Annual Fundraiser for the Christie Refugee Welcome Centre. This year, things have been extremely complex with the immense struggles that COVID-19 has brought into the world. With that said, this years fundraiser will be extra important as many organizations are struggling with funding and a “new normal”.
Over the last year, the team and I have been working to fully register Backpacks for Brainiacs as a Non-Profit, this will allow us to really achieve long term growth and expansion, as well as secure (hopefully) larger donations with the opportunity to give donors tax receipts. As of now, B4B is now fully registered as a Corporation and has a Business ID number, we have also opened a Business Account which will further help with organization and long term growth. My goal is to be able to transfer all of the documentation by the end of the year into a Non Profit Organization, which will then allow us to achieve the above goals.
Apart from the goals of our organization, I would also like to revamp the site and make it more user friendly – open to any and all feedback!
I’m really excited to share the organization we will be helping this year, as it is one that is very near and dear to my heart.
Stay tuned!
