I should clear up something on that last post. I am not officially a not-for profit. I am trying to run my program with the same rules, but it is all self imposed. The hope is to find the right balance for this to make it self sufficient before officially applying for the registered not-for-profit status. At this point, it looks like I had about a $7400+ balance against outgoing expenses versus income and estimated resale value of unclaimed bikes still in storage. My intentions were to donate the equivalent in 'profits' worth of bikes to empty stocking programs and the likes, but the holidays were so crazy I never got the chance. At this point, it looks like I will be doing some donations to OCB or similar registered non-profits. If anyone has any suggestions, please feel free to forward them to info@bikerescue.org and I will review the ideas.
