To: "The Think Tank" thethinktank@bikecollectives.org Received: Saturday, November 1, 2008, 6:08 PM Hello! Our nonprofit, Pedals2People, just got its 501c3. As we are trying to develop projects and determine our focus under our new status we thought it would be great to get some insight from all of you that have more experience (been around for a while). Anyone that would like to, please feel free to answer any of the following questions:
1.) What is your main source of funding?
Retailing overhauled used bikes to the public.
2.) If you have a space, how are you covering your costs?
See 1)
3.) Do you have paid staff?
Director receives an honorarium (less than a part-time wage).
4.) Are you financially self-sustaining or grant funded?
Less than 10% of our revenue is derived from grants.
Thanks for your help! If you have any other suggestions or ideas or questions i forgot that you would like to answer, please do!
