Hello Lindsey,
Thank you for your interest in InspireDR aka Inspire By Action, Inc.
We filed for non-profit status in the Dominican Republic with our attorney, Jenny Familia of Cabarete; however, this process is taking a bit longer to complete than originally expected. As director, I am in the process of becoming a resident of the Dominican Republic and this is part of the reason for the delay.
Additionally, we are incorporated in Florida, USA, as a non-profit organization; however, we have not completed 501c3 status with the Internal Revenue Service. Before we file for such status, we?d like to see if we can secure sufficient funding from a handful of individuals that relate to our mission and vision. We?re not opposed to checks and balances; however, we prefer others don?t provide too much influence over how we operate the organization.
We understand and respect your concerns regarding the use of funds. We would love to have you visit the youth center in Cabarete, and meet the boys, their families, partners, volunteers, and the staff of InspireDR. If you are able to help with a contribution this would be great; however, if you don?t feel comfortable right now, we understand. If possible, please share InspireDR with others.?
Best Regards,
Adam Gutman

Get back to me when you are a legal NGO in the DR, and have tax exempt status with the IRS.
Until then you are just giving EXCUSES!
