Wood Working / Contracting Co-Op
Wood Working / Contracting Co-Op
Q1: How to set up a non profit organization?
Idea Description
Offer a woodworking co-op facility where the resources are donated from local businesses(tools, materials and funds), and business owners(General and specilaized Contractors who will donate time to teach the trades); in turn you are creating a labor pool of skilled and unskilled workers to take on house renovations, remodeling, and assist victims of natural disasters, water leaks and fires. Use green products; solar panels to sell electricity back and recycled materials to revamp run down housing.
What will you do if you win $10,000 for this idea?
Create a business plan, contact local government agencies, contact small business enterprise, search for people with the same interests and complimentary business skills to assist. Engage in research and development phase, seek out investors - and the list goes on...

- I wonder how this will differ/compete with the Saturday morning "seminars" at Home Depot & Lowes? Good idea though - I like it - maybe get some retired carpenters - your local union hall or trade contracting organization like Associated General Contractors of America or Associated Builders and Contractors - local chapter might be interested in nuturing interested future craft workers.
