ANNOUNCEMENT: WE HAVE CHARITABLE STATUS!

By Megan Newcombe, Past President, SSAC
November, 2008

When we incorporated under the name of South Simcoe Arts Council, with the guidance of Jerry Switzer, we also changed our objectives to fit the Charitable Status objectives and more definitively reflect our initiatives in South Simcoe. In January of last year, Janet Clayson and I decided we were going to follow through with this until we achieved
charitable status.

We applied in July and have just received the good news that we are now a Registered Charitable Organization. Thanks to Janet and her perserverence in keeping on top of this issue, we can now give receipts for monies donated to the SSAC.

I will be attending a meeting in Barrie in November on the financial responsibilities we now have as a charitable organizaiton, and feel confident that this will only strengthen our future growth and financial stability.

I am positive that the application (which usually takes 9 months) took only 4 months due to the preparation that went into getting the objectives approved for charitable status at the time of incorporation.

We thank Jerry Switzer for all his advice when we re-incorporated with new objectives and letters of patent.
