Hello,

I am a senior professional in the realization of computer systems (more than thirty years in governmental organizations).

I realize a Web site to support the sustainable development. This Web site will facilitate the sharing of the knowledge and the resources concerning the environmental protection. This site will have its customers constituted in particular by municipal organisations, which will be maintained in communications. The citizens can themselves subscribe to it and use it to make edition, conservation and broadcast of the information about projects of sustainable development.

Obviously, quickly my personnal material resources became insufficient! Consequently, why do not to make people participate in this project ?

I thus thought of a continuous process of crowdfunding. However, I would like to give a receipt for tax deduction to the donors. For that purpose, it is necessary would need that my company has the non-profit ” status and accredited by the government “. IT WOULD STILL CAUSE ME EXPENSES!

On the other hand, I think that an organisation with existing non-lucrative purpose and accredited by the government, CAN SPONSOR THE REALIZATION OF MY PROJECT!

Like that exist in the USA, there is thus in Canada also?

I would appreciate a lot that we inform me on this subject, most earlier that possible!

Thank you very much,

Jean-Roch Massé

Thanks for this; I was on a panel at last year’s NAMP Conference about customer service via social media and lots of the panels and speakers spoke on this subject as well. Good to see we’re all on the right track and having this conversation!
