The mission statement of our organization reads as follows: Fountain of Love, Inc. will provide a haven of love, support, and hope for children of need that will help build self-esteem and character, nurture self-empowerment, and provide opportunities to succeed. The information presented here reflects the completed tasks of the applied project to establish a non-profit agency. The tasks that have been completed for the applied project are as follows: Established the charitable purpose of the organization, created mission and vision statements, recruited initial board of directors, drafted and filed Articles of Incorporation, drafted bylaws, filed and obtained Employer Identification Number, and developed Moderate Strategic Plan.
