I thought i set up a Paypal donation link. Unfortunately due to technical difficulties i have not received any help in the formation of this nonprofit. Since i have lost the grand prize, at the hopes to fund the formation and legal 501(c)(3) status of my organization. I was hoping the donations would help me make this dream still a possibility. I have worked 2 full days, with little hope, i think i have figured out the problems. So if anyone who origionally tried to donate or if any new backers would like to donate, i am pretty sure the link works now. If all else fails, i can still be sent donations directly to my email through paypal. My email address is earthday78@cox.net By the way thank you everyone for pushing me to keep going even though the path to success turned out to be the longer road. I have done so much since July 4th (the day i entered this contest) it would be wrong of me to quit now. Anyone have trouble or question please feel free to email me, i will give up my cell phone number at request, if you would rather talk voice to voice, in explanation to the intention of the funds. The catch 22 in this plan has always been that you have to be more than one person to incorporate and become a nonprofit. Most, if not all grants and funding's require nonprofit status. I have for 6 years hoped to recieve the EPA's P2I2 Pollution Prevention and Education Grant, but to this day i still do not meet the requirements. I have tried to find Fiscal Sponsorship which lets you "piggy back"

along with your parent nonprofit to gain there status and privileges. The only other way to get the ball rolling is ask for funds from people who care about the world around them, in hopes to gain requirements to be able to apply for funding to get this idea off the ground! So please, anyone one that thinks this might be the right solution to the world-wide epidemic of cigarette litter, and the repercussions of it...please spread the word and donate any amount you can...Every little bit counts!!
