Dave — Our organization is a tax exempt 501(c)(3). As a start up, besides committed people, you will need two things — a strong base of volunteers and some general operating support. This may come from foundations or from concerned individuals. Sometimes, elected officials may be able to allocate funds to such an effort if the issue is important to them and there is a strong base of support from their constituents.
Most of our funds now come from government support (for specific projects and programs) and from operations of our affiliated housing companies. Much of our support is still dependent upon volunteer efforts, including staff who go “above and beyond.” But starting out, we were entirely volunteer.
