Hi everyone, we here at Baltimore's Velocipede Bike Project are in the middle of applying for 501(c)(3). We're actually a little apprehensive about Part IV of the Application and was wondering if other collectives out there who do have this status can help out. Specifically, we're not 100% sure how to go about writing a "Narrative Description of Activities"... here's what the application says:
Part IV. Narrative Description of Your Activities Describe completely and in detail your past, present, and planned activities. Do not refer to or repeat the purposes in your organizing document. You may refer to other parts of the application rather than repeat information provided elsewhere.
For each past, present, or planned activity, include information that answersthe following questions.
- What is the activity?
- Who conducts the activity?
- When is the activity conducted?
- Where is the activity conducted (for example: Los Angeles and San
Francisco, California)?
- How does the activity further your exempt purposes?
- What percentage of your total time is allocated to the activity?
- How is the activity funded? (This should agree with the financial data in
Part IX.)
- List any alternate names under which you operate, including any “aka”
(also known as) or “dba” (doing business as) names.
If you have a website, you may attach a paper copy to support your narrative description of activities.
We at Velocipede was wondering if there are other collectives that have already done this part and could show us your answers just as an example. We're not 100% sure how detailed we should go, etc... any help is appreciated.
thanks in advance. if you don't want to spam the list please feel free to email me directly at boson.au@gmail.com
