501c3 Approved!
Posted by admin in Fundraising, News on January 29, 2010
We are very happy to announce that Family Promise of Anoka County has been officially granted 501c3 status. As a non-profit organization we can now receive donations and offer the donor tax deductions for the gift. This is a huge, and much anticipated milestone for us.
Now we are positioned to raise the funds needed to launch this much needed organization.
