WIJO was officially approved of our 501(c)3 non-profit status as a charitable organization.
What does it mean that we’ve gained 501(c)3 non-profit status?
In addition to being exempt from certain taxes, organizations with 501(c)3 status can receive tax-deductible donations, as well as apply for and receive many more grants and funding opportunities which are often reserved exclusively for non-profits.
Why is this important to WIJO?
This official status will enable us to keep growing in the ways we want!
We have (so many) ideas, many of which we have begun to work on, and many of which we have had to put on the back burner. Everyone involved in WIJO thus far has been full-time professional musicians, so you can imagine how hard it has been for us to find the necessary time and resources to dedicate to all of the initiatives that we’ve dreamed of doing. Receiving more funding via individual contributions and grants will hopefully enable us to gain the additional resources necessary to carry out more of our dream projects!
Your generous financial contribution goes directly toward the costs of running and maintaining the organization. Check out our list of current projects to see what we are working on!
