Founding a Charity Organization

Applying to College

<p>Hi last year i founded an organization, lets just call it the New England Korean Scholarship Organization. Could someone tell me how much of a hook this is for colleges on a scale from one to ten? Lets say 10 is like Julliard level musician, a 5 is an All star athlete (w/i conmmunity), and a 1 is someone without a hook.</p>

<p>My organization is has raised about $12,000 and plans to give out about 10 $1000 grants this year. Our goal is to help promote Korean diversity and leadership. We give scholarships to not only college students, but also people who want to basically "do anything Korean." We gave a couple hundred dollars to a Korean school's fan dance class that needed money to fund a recital. I am the only member who is under 40 years old. We are quickly becoming well known in the Korean community. We have our own website online, and have many sponsers. Our goal is basically to be a national group, kinda like the United Negro Fund.</p>

<p>4-6 around if you were the one that started the organization. Much less if you were a founding member.</p>

<p>It's pretty unusual for a non profit to gave away most of the money it has raised to date in one year. You need to make sure your info sounds credible as a lot of people claim to have started such organizations. Did you get any newspaper coverage?</p>

<p>oh sorry i guess i should have made it clearer, we $12000 is how much we made from one event, we have a few sponsers so we should have a pretty steady amount to give out. We have coverage in korean newspapers only. It seemed pointless for this kind of thing to be in the Boston Globe etc.</p>
