Board Development

We are currently scheduled to speak at a few engagements in the community (schools and animal shelters as of right now) and as of now are not charging for this services as we are focused on getting our name "known"

Also, as you may know , we have recently applied to the IRS for our 501C3 (non profit) status and as soon as we get our determination letter, we can start applying for the grants we need for purchasing more land. Once we get that we can get the larger animals like Bison, bobcat and wolves and other animals people dont typically think of when they think of Ohio.

One way we can strengthen our grant requests it to diversify our board of directors. 
Sooooo...we are actively seeking people who would like to be board members for our animal sanctuary. Now, before you say, "Oh I couldn't do that", Hear me out lol
Here are a few disclaimers :)

1. First and foremost. We are not asking for your money. That's not to say that you have an extra 10 grand laying around we couldn't use it...lol, but that's not what we are seeking from board members at this time.

2. In terms of diversity, in the sheer definition of the word, we are seeking people who are not gay white males lol. We can even have board members who are school aged, which would actually be greatsince one of our focal points is education.

3. You dont have to live in Ohio, any mandatory "meetings" can be done via email, or skype, or phone.

So basically, this could be a great opportunity for you to be  apart of, would look REALLY great on a resume to say that you are on a board for a non profit, and of course would help diversify our funding options by word of mouth.

So basically you wouldnt have to do alot, you can be as active as youd like, we just need people to believe in what we are doing, those who want to have a voice, and might have some fresh ideas. If thats YOU please email us: stephen@noahsarcsanctuary.org

Thank you for your consideration
