Pinay Powerhouse Foundation Update

The Pinay Powerhouse 501(c)(3) committee is working diligently to get our status filed this summer! We have a pro bono business law Pinay Powerhouse assisting us. We’ve also met an accountant and hope to hire this person to help us with our bookkeeping, etc.

If anyone on the collective is interested in joining the future Foundation board, especially if they would like to learn new skills in the marketing/communications arena, please let us know! Or if you have a shining recommendation, we would like to continue the pipeline and need enthusiastic Pinay Powerhouses to help run our c(3)!

Contact pinaypowerhouse@fbanc.org to learn more.
