Become an Affiliate
So you want to start your own 501(c)3? Become a BJALCF AFFILIATE instead…
It may be easier to join BJALCF and operate under our 501(c)3. By becoming an affiliate, you can set up a unique fund and raise the much needed funding for Lung Cancer like the Mae’s Breath Foundation in New York, the Baretta Family in Colorado or The Fighting Barry Foundation in Maryland have done. For example, BJALCF established the Mary Baretta “Grace” Fund of the Bonnie J. Addario Lung Cancer Foundation as an appropriate fictitious business name of BJALCF, qualifying BJALCF to solicit charitable contributions in Colorado, and establishing appropriate accounts and/or procedures to properly credit contributions to the Fund. The Agent of your fund can be you or someone you designate to exercise all of your rights under an agreement. You can hold your own fundraisers and create your own campaigns. BJALCF will take care of all the accounting, paperwork, legal issues and official tax receipts for accepting donations and running a 501(c)3 for you. The designated Agent of your Fund may recommend the Fund proceeds be applied among one or more existing BJALCF programs, or in favor of one or more qualified charitable organizations which BJALCF supports. Or, there may be a new research project on early detection, for example, that you may recommend, and with Board approval, your funds can be directed toward that project. The affiliate program allows you to become a partner of BJALCF without the headaches of becoming your own 501(c)3, and accelerates the entire movement and mission to eradicate Lung Cancer.
