Clothing drive for Cameroon

June 29th, 2010

Here is Joshua of RUDEC wearing our T-Shirt in Cameroon!

We collected a box full of clothes for children and shipped them off to Cameroon.  Everything arrived safely and will be distributed to the kids who most need it.

Many thanks to all the families who dug through the closets and found a bunch of clothing to donate to the cause.

On the road to our 501(c)(3)

February 3rd, 2010

Joe and Tara have been busy working to make The Project Solution an official “not for profit” organization.  This will include getting an IRS tax exempt status – 501(c)(3) – so that all future donations will be tax deductible.  This will also allow us to begin to seek grant money from foundations and corporations.

We would like to also take a moment to welcome Michael Mendiola who has joined our team as our official accountant to help get us through this process.  His time and efforts are greatly appreciated.
