Hey Coozies, the Comfy Cozy community has been growing recently. Our presence has been expanding and so is the scope of what we’d like to do. We’ve done so much already from lounges, to art cars, and even & especially Hot Dog Glory Holes, the things that haven’t changed are our love of the 10 Principles.
We’ve already passed a point where only one of us can be guiding the camp along and so now a small pilot group of current campers has decided to take the next step in Comfy Cozy’s adventure and register for non-profit status. Among other things (to be discussed in more detail for those interested) this means that the organization of the camp will reflect how it’s been growing with a true communal ownership.
What does this mean for you? It means we’re looking for current, prior and friends of campers who would like to participate in planning, would like to take on a leadership role, and would like to commit to guiding us forward. Our non-profit needs a board, and we’re looking for board members. If you are interested we’d love to hear what you think and how you’d like to contribute. If you’re even remotely interested just respond to this post or DM any current members you know and have them pass the info on the CapsLock or BlÜd
Here’s a few of the benefits we’ve noted about incorporating:
*Financial Benefits
- Free things! Having items like alcohol and supplies donated to camp.
- All donations will be tax deductible
- Opportunity to receive grants
- Creates a layer of protection between any single persons personal assets
- Creates transparency of finances / ownership
*Camp Community Building
- Brings the camp together to think more deeply about our purpose - MISSION, VISION, VALUES, CAMP IDENTITY
- Motivates us to think more carefully / intently when making big decisions (What are we putting our community name to?)
- Will help with overall camp organization
- Opens doors for partnerships with likeminded camps / businesses / resources / etc.
