The Duvall / Riverview Area Pool team needs a name!

Help!  We need a name!

We are starting the process of creating an official 501(c)3 organization.  This process is can be a lengthy and expensive process to undertake, but it is a necessary step that will allow us to more effectively network with potential partners and to start fundraising.  Wouldn't it be great to get nonprofit status established in time for the corporate giving (& matching) season this fall?  We think so.

There are very specific requirements outlined by the law for attaining nonprofit status, including:

• Organizing Documents, including:
• Corporate Charter
• Articles of Incorporation
• Articles of Association
• A Trust Instrument
• Governance Policy Summary

There will also be several costs involved with receiving official 501(c)3 status.  The main costs include:

• IRS Form 1023 - $750 user fee.  Generally takes 60 days for letter of determination.
• Washington State Business License for Nonprofit in Duvall - $74
• Charities Program of Washington State - up to $85
• Legal review - fee unknown at this time
• Accounting review - fee unknown at this time

We are early in the process, so how can you help?

3. As we start putting together the required documents, we need to have an official name in place.
Reply to Sara's thread asking for name ideas.  The winner will receive a big public thank you on facebook.  We hope that the pool will serve the geographic area of the Riverview School District (although we're not an official partner of the school district at this time.)  We hope the name reflects an area larger than Duvall but something more local than the entire Snoqualmie Valley.  Here are some key words to consider, although all creative ideas are welcome!  Let's hear your great ideas!

• Riverview
• Riverview Area
• North Snoqualmie (does this sound like it's for the north part of the city of Snoqualmie?) 
• Community
• Pool
• Aquatic Center
