Nonprofit Status and Bathroom Renovation
Dear Finegold Family,
As the holiday spirit embraces us, we have both good and GREAT news to share!
But first, let’s reflect on Susie Hickman’s incredible gift: Finegold Ranch itself. Far, far more than just a valuable piece of land, The Ranch and Trust represents her dream of fostering a legacy of love, goodwill, and education.
Here’s the good news: After a five-year-long effort, Finegold Trust now has now been reinstated as a non-profit, tax-exempt organization with its 501(c)3, 509(a)2 status. This means your donations are fully tax-deductible, both Federal and State of California, aligning perfectly with year-end giving.
Our goal? To upgrade the Ranch’s infrastructure, starting with ADA-compliant bathrooms – which is essential for Finegold Ranch’s growth and the well-being of all future Finegoldians.
Ask yourself this question: “What would Susie do?”
Never mind. Susie’d probably build the bathrooms out of old wine bottles and rusted barbed wire. However, the Finegold Board of Trustees have committed to building this bathroom project TO CODE!
Now, the GREAT news: There’s a dedicated (but mysterious) handful of anonymous Finegoldian Alumni donors who have generously kickstarted the bathroom project with a substantial donation pledge. We now have $26,000 pledged toward our $80,000 goal.
But we need more true Finegoldian Spirit to uplift this dream and make it happen. Quite a bit more.
Now is the time…
Every contribution counts:
– $1 shows your huge heart and support.
– $100 is beyond generous.
– $1,000 is an otherworldly gift.
– $5,000 or more? You’re a Finegold saint!
Please forward this to anybody you know who might be interested in helping make this bathroom project happen.
