501.c3...

We are tired of waiting...

We filed papers on Wednesday with the State of Ohio to incorporate OneLab as an official non-profit entity. This should allow us to seek grant funding and tax deductible donations (once we get tax deductible status...that paperwork is next), as well as set our own course for the future without having to wait for others to "get it".

We all have been inspired by the work and are amazed at the incredible opportunities which present themselves every day. We have a few new projects in the works, an exciting opportunity to bring our message to a new forum, growing interest from the public and possible expanding scope from our great partners at CTI.

The last thing any of us need is another job...but the pull to do this work is too strong, the results too compelling and the impact too important...
