Formation of 501c(3) non-profit

Posted by Scott WRG Editor on Fri Jan 23, 2004 08:23:47 PM

Right now I am researching the feasibility of forming the WRG/WIX into a non-profit educational group. If you would like to be involved in this endeavor then please e-mail me and I'll put you on the e-mailing list.

We will need to write a mission statement, goals, and form a board of directors as well as choose a name.

Right now the general idea is to create an organization that will provide educational resources about World War II aviation (and other eras). This will include funding for this site and its expansion as well as other educational endeavors. One eventual goal is to acquire and restore an aircraft to further our educational goals but that is probably a ways off.

We will be starting off small but we will grow. The WRG started because I was looking for a picture of a Ta 152. 8 years and 40,000 files later the WRG is what it is today. Who knows, in 8 years we could have a C-47 as a mobile classroom.

Feel free to comment.
