We have a sponsor AND an office!
Monday, July 30th, 2007I’m proud to tell you all that our fiscal sponsor is GivingNet , formerly known as the Community Foundations of America. We were able to transform a chance meeting with a GivingNet manager, Doug Yeager, over at the Salesforce.com Nonprofit Roadmap Summit into our fiscal sponsorship. Carla Dearing, the President and CEO, and Caroline Heine, Chief Operating Officer, has been instrumental in helping us get socialmarkets off the ground because they’re not just our fiscal sponsor but they’re handling our back-end operations as well. What is amazing isn’t that GivingNet is our fiscal sponsor, but that socialmarkets so clearly fits into their strategy . Sometimes, I’m in awe of the kismet of it all.
And even more good news, Tate Hausman of the Integration Proclamation, is now our landlord. As of September 1st, we’ll be in our new office over at 18 West 27th Street in the Flatiron district of Manhattan. Yup, we’re getting less and less virtual as time goes on. We’ve got ledgers, desks and what not going on. And it means that I won’t to have to be in what passes for my computer office here at my home. Who knew that the prospect of air conditioning could be so sweet?
