501(c)3 Tax Info
🚨 Transparency & Integrity: Our 501(c)(3) Status 🚨
At Grilling for Hope, we believe in complete honesty and transparency. That’s why we want to share an important update with you: our 501(c)(3) nonprofit status is currently pending, with an expected approval date of March 31, 2025.
Many organizations might not mention this, but we see it differently. We believe that being upfront about where we stand isn’t just about compliance—it’s about integrity. Our mission is too important to cut corners, and we want our donors, partners, and supporters to know exactly where we are in this journey.
Why This Matters
Our goal has always been to create a genuine, lasting impact by providing job training, leadership development, and sober housing for those in recovery. Achieving official 501(c)(3) status will allow us to:
✅ Accept tax-deductible donations
✅ Qualify for essential grants and corporate sponsorships
✅ Expand our programs to reach more individuals in need
What We’re Doing Right Now
While we await approval, we are full steam ahead on building out our mission:
🔥 Construction has begun on our first mobile BBQ unit
🔥 Community outreach programs are expanding
🔥 Fundraising efforts continue so we can launch with strength
Your Support Makes the Difference
We are confident that our 501(c)(3) approval will be finalized before the next tax filing deadline, meaning that donations made now should still be tax-deductible. As always, we recommend consulting with a tax professional for guidance.
Every dollar donated goes directly toward funding our programs, and we remain committed to responsible, transparent financial management. If you believe in our mission, we invite you to join us on this journey.
📢 Have questions? We welcome them! Reach out anytime—we are here to build something real, and we’re doing it the right way.
🙏 Thank you for standing with us as we take these important steps toward creating lasting change—one plate at a time.
