Bex presented the February financials. 

The school's attorney, Chris,  provided an overview of creating a separate nonprofit entity versus using a 509A supporting organization structure for fundraising. He explained that a supporting organization allows the existing organization to maintain control over the board and piggyback on the existing 501c3 status, making it more efficient than creating a completely separate nonprofit. The board discussed operational similarities between the two structures, including fundraising practices and donor interactions, with the main difference being the level of control over the supporting organization's board. Chris clarified that fund distribution to the school would remain similar in both structures, with the existing board maintaining oversight through board appointments.
