What to do when you lose support from your school?

[Jimmy Nichols]

We we lost our space two and a half years ago. What partnered with our local community foundation to use their 501 c3 umbrella for nonprofit status. And all the taxes all the thank you letters, and all we have to do is worry about spending the money. What's also allows us to find our own space can have the ability to sign a lease. Which is exactly what we did we found a local mall that was hey go small I was able to lease a unit for about 75 percent discount what normally cost. Which works out really well because then what are tied to a teacher schedule or School schedule. Wasn't easy but we make it work if we think we've grown and prospered for it.

Funding wise we never really received anything from our school. Actually we did receive some funding in the first couple years but that quickly stopped since then we have relied on Grants in corporate sponsors and travel fees charged to the students and mentors.

Feel free to PM me or have your mentors email me and I can go into more detail on the steps we chose and the direction we went.
