Warp 501(c)(3): Engage

Progress reports are Giving Jar’s way of celebrating Success, learning from Failure, giving Thanks, and taking a peek at what’s Up and Coming. Hopefully, you will find this progress report informative. As always, all feedback is welcome!

Success

Here are the major wins in this progress report:

1. Spotlighted Hospice of Lansing.
2. Applied for 501(c)(3) online.
3. Opened a checking account!
4. More software design work.

Failure

Failure is okay if you learn from it. Here are some lessons learned in the past two weeks:

• Sometimes thinking interferes with doing. Don’t overthink.
• In software, there’s no such thing as a perfect solution.

Thanks

Upcoming

Here’s where the focus will be in the next two weeks at Giving Jar:

• Interview Origami Brain Injury Rehabilitation Center.
• Interview Hannah’s House.
• Vacay! But have no fear, the next spotlight will arrive on time!

We are always looking for charities in the Greater Lansing area to write about. If you know of one, email us, tweet, or write on our Facebook wall.
