Dear Reader,

  We have now reached our 13th month of solicitation offering our professional fundraising services at our  introductory rate.  Effective immediately, our scheduled Second Tiered Rates will apply to future written agreements for our services.

      Our new rates require an up-front fee of $282.00, payable on the 11th day of our executed Agreement.  The GOOD NEWS: this amount is refunded upon payment of the first grant award service fee.  This means your organization will not pay more than our advertised rates of the lesser of 8% or $250,000 of any grant award. Our policy of donating 50% of our total revenue to charity remains firm.  We also include our donations by helping new federal tax-exempted organizations to form by paying the $475.00 fees and future Cyber Assistant fees, discussed later.

  The acceptance of this up-front fee will defray a small portion of the operational cost to solicit and indoctrinate new clientele with our services and how we adopt to new laws, tax codes and local ordinance requirements through changed procedures, printed materials and updates on our website at GrantPromoter.com.

    As a for-profit entity, we must change to the currents and trends of our industry.  Some changes will not be acceptable or liked by some nonprofit leaders, and accepted by others.  While our existence is not to please everyone, our mission is to provide a service with a profitable margin to stay in business.  As you know, with any business who fails to earn a profit has made the first step to "going out of business."

   Our direction, obviously is to stay in business and focus upon helping as many nonprofit federally tax-exempt  organizations achieve their grant award goals necessary to benefit the public with their mission statement services and products that help their chosen community to grow and prosper.

   Without our services, local nonprofit organizations who are clueless of where and how to achieve their annual budget requirements would fail or simply keep their doors closed while remaining on the list of IRS tax-exempt organization in good-standing. If this were to happen, the Determination Letter would not be worth the paper it is printed on  -- because no services would be rendered and both the community and the leaders of these nonprofit organizations would needlessly suffer.

  With our trend of helping individuals and groups of individuals become NPOs, our new upfront fee seems to increase the financial burden to form a new NPO.

    This seemingly extra financial burden is resolved when each individual or group of individuals participate in our Contract Approved Vendor (CAV) program.  As a CAV, individuals or a group of individuals may form a Fictitious Business Name and dba business bank account to deposit funds earned for referring existing nonprofit organizations or individuals and groups who plan to form federally tax-exempt organizations to us (who become funded under our agreements).

   Through the agreements and resulting fees collected through the performance of grant award success, these CAVs earn $7,000.00 from a single transaction, which is more than sufficient to start a nonprofit federal tax-exempt organization  -- which cost $475.00 today.  This price will be reduced when the IRS debuts the on-line Cyber Assistant filing of 1023 Applications for only $200.00.  This fee reduction reduces the total cost to become a federal tax-exempt and California State property tax exempt organization to a mere $275.00.  The itemized cost is:

Federal Tax-Exempt Fees

      $  30 Articles of Incorporation - Charity,

      $  20 Statement of Information,

      $  25 Exeption of Property Tax,

      $200 Cyber Assistant filing of Form 1023).

      $275 Total Filing Fees (Other fees may be required by county and city ordinances depending upon your activities and services offered to the public.)

    Either way, CAVs earning $7,000.00 can easily pay the fees necessary to become a nonprofit federal tax-exempt organization and increase our credibility as a significant resource to their future operations.

    Then, of course, as word-of-mouth advertising spreads, our cost for interactions with start-up federal tax exempt operations will decrease, and the need for up-front fees will become unnecessary and removed.

    As with any business, start-up and the first few years of operation are the most difficult.  Our plan will over-come this adversity, and we will become a trusted leader in this industry.
