Runs With Fire
Black Belt
It's been in back of my mind for years. After attending a leadership conference across the state, I'm reved up on the idea again. I have decided to put in my state application for a non-profit corporation. I'm part of a boy's mentorship program that holds regular camps throughout the year. In the annual business meeting they expressed the desire to continue, and to increase shooting sports at camp. Problem is, they seem to have a hard time securing qualified instructors and certified range officers as well as firearms and archery equipment. So I am going to start a non profit with some friends (all traditional martial artists).
We are going to focus on shooting sports and self defense. We will get training and certifications in range safety as well as instructors certification in firearms and archery. We hope to raise eventually enough funds to purchase 10- match grade 22 rifles, 10- match grade 22 pistols, 5- 20 gauge shotguns and an assortment of target equipment. We currently have access to the archery equipment
This isn't a fundraising pitch, I'm just wondering if anyone has done something like this. Really just looking for advice.
