Updates

  • Jenny: Chart of Accounts mostly cleaned up - but need to reclassify GWS, LibLens, BAPS & Birdhouse income to 'Sponsored Project' account and can't figure out how
  • Jenny: re: 1023 app - Fiscal Sponsorship info has been sent to Jesse; remaining accounting questions for 1023 resolved. Need to resend fixed P&L statements.
  • Jenny: re: IndieGoGo perks, stickers have been ordered. Need to polish up tshirt design and poster design
  • Jenny: re: June rent - Signing a $5K promissory note with Patrik this week, resent overdue invoices 5/15, sent July invoices early (need to fix recurrence)
  • David: Western will send us a loan app once we send them our P&Ls, other financial data (DK - what specifically?)
  • Laura, Matt, Alex, Jenny, Marc attended the Oakland Indie Awards party. Laura, Alex and Matt spoke with Salvador Manjivar, who Laura knows personally, about the Omni and a loan. He was enthusiastic about us talking to Dick the loan officer.
  • Laura got an email from tax prepper, she filed an extension for us for 2015 taxes. Laura told her we would get back to her with the updated books so she can do the taxes.
  • Event on Wednesday, 2-4pm, for nonprofit real estate issues - we'll try to get some 1-on-1 time: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/arts-and-culture-nonprofits-building-capacity-for-baseline-operations-tickets-24791097841?utm_source=eb_email&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=order_confirmation_email&utm_term=eventname&ref=eemailordconf

Discussion

  • Two things to be considered successful - 501c3 and mortgage, then can start getting grants for projects to improve the place -> more rentals
  • Could we get a startup grant to fund an appraisal? Need to demonstrate good business plan
  • LibLens wants to offer $150 for Phat Beets space, with Phat Beets moving upstairs to the Buried Seeds Room. That's a $600 loss
