REFLECTOR: Non Profit Plans

[Terry Miles]

Yes, I know of Build-a-plane and have talked w/ Katrina somebody who is
their Ex Dir, about a year ago now.  She was willing to help ...but if you
look on the web site there are a lot of projects, but no pictures (that I
can pull up anyway.)  I didn't ask her about that.  I hope to make enuf
local progress and blessings here in Harrisburg so as to have something put
together by Oshkosh.  

I am not in a position to accept an airplane yet anyway.  Thanks very much
for the input.  I am waiting for the PA based A&P schools to run this thru
their channels, and then I need to deal w/ teacher certification
issues...but progress is being made.  

What does the FAA want for credential to teach in an A&P school compared to
what a local Jr College requires to teach in an auto mechanic
program...these are some of the current questions.  (They call A&P
"Aviation Maintenance Technician" now.)

Terry --
This sounds like an awesome idea.

Are you familiar with the Build-a-Plane program?  
	http://www.buildaplane.org/

It looks pretty similar; I'm curious if going through them to start
up your program might give you a huge head start and reduce the number
of hoops you have to go through?

Hi,

I am in the early stages of developing an aviation maintenance training
program for at-risk teenagers and others in Harrisburg, PA.  

This is at least a year out.  I am in the planning stages only or better
said trying to create a presentation I can make to potential funders.
So
you know, this will be a legit IRS recognized non-profit organization
for
donation purposes.  

(Here's a little tax primer:)  I would recognize all donations with
signed
receipts.  You, the giver, set the value and defends that value to the
IRS.
I only sign (recognize) that it was given.  

I hope to keep this Velocity/Cozy based but it is too early to make any
presumptions.  For presentation purposes to the Mayor's office and
others a
detailed list of what I have been offered might help...sort of a
non-binding
letter of intent for what's out there.  

Don't worry about liability.  None of this will ever be airworthy.  I
need
one or two partially complete kits in almost any state and whatever
parts,
supplies or shop tools you might offer.  

Please get back to me off line.  Thanks for helping.
