Non-profit help wanted/technical too

[olyclimber]

As you may know my goal is to change this site into an official non-profit entity.

to promote and support climbing in the northwest , to preserve the stories and legacies of those that have passed through here, maybe even do some charitable stuff if it can be put together. 
 

But I know nothing about this from a legal or organizational standpoint.  And with a new role at work I don’t have time for much.

so I’m looking for help.

Help with everything including running the site from a technical standpoint. I know I’ve asked for this before and some have even answered. I just need to meet you and maybe we can have a working session.

 

so this is a call for help. Help to get us to non-profit status if possible. Help running that.

technical side I need *nix skills, upgrading MySQL, upgrading php, that kind of thing.

was even thinking of reaching out to the UW Discord channel, anyone here on that?

 

just looking for people who will protect this site, help run it as a nonprofit,keep the lights on.

I haven't seen @mattp around in awhile but maybe he has some good legal perspective on that?  I know he has worked with non-profits and is an attorney.

Glad to hear of this desire to keep this going long term!

I talked to a lawyer friend and it sounds like setting up as a Washington non-profit is the lowest hassle/cheapest option.   Getting more details.

 

At any rate this call for help is a standing offer!  Reach out to me and lets talk.
