Filed the articles of incorporation and with the attorney general. Now we're just waiting on the dreaded 1023 packet to come in the mail. I've heard horror stories about filing the IRS tax 1023 paper work since I had the idea of creating a nonprofit . One web sight even used it as a reason not to form a 501(c)(3) non-profit. The 1023 is thirty pages of IRS hell with each page more confusing than the last. But at last, I am immune. I go into all of this whole-heartedly and without confusion, fear, or pre-misconceptions. A musician friend of mine sings "Even now there's a time and place for better days". Tavana Mcmoore is one of the greatest musician/songwriters I've ever heard and I'm proud to say he's one of my best friends; but I'm gonna have to disagree with him. I couldn't imagine a better place to be or a better time to be there. I , as well as Tavana, live in Honolulu, Hawaii; a place of so much beauty and inspiration. So much in fact that I was inspired to form a nonprofit organization to help preserve the islands that we love so much. Clean and Green Campaign of Hawaii's mission is as follows:
MISSION: "Clean and Green Campaign of Hawaii is dedicated to promoting a positive impact on the environment through education, advocacy, art, group clean-up efforts, and recycling."
A charity built on the hope that very few can change the lives of many. Through the power of gods inspiration great things can be accomplished. It's going to be a long, hard, winding road; but with a lot of blood, sweat, and tears; great things will happen. In the beginning, I told myself that if even one life is changed for the better than we all would have succeeded. Well its safe to say a life has already changed......my own.
Until next time, God Bless
