We’re excited to share that BELLA Academy has officially filed for 501(c)(3) nonprofit status! This is such a big step forward for us, and while the approval process can take several months, we’re using this time wisely to build momentum behind the scenes.
One of our main focuses right now is securing funding so that when our approval comes through, we’ll be ready to begin operating as soon as possible.
We’re currently seeking support in the form of:
Grants
Scholarships or sponsorships
Donations from individuals or businesses
Fiscal sponsorship opportunities
Of course, this stage comes with its challenges — many grants require approved 501(c)(3) status to apply — but we’re determined to explore every creative and collaborative path forward.
If you have any leads, connections, or ideas for potential funding opportunities, we’d love to hear from you! Every bit of support brings us closer to opening our doors and beginning the important work of BELLA Academy.
Reach out to Jess or Savanna with any information, por favor!
Together, we can turn this vision into a vibrant reality for our community!
