Comment: This draft is written from the viewpoint of the organization, focusing on what the organization says about itself. Corporate notability or organization notability is based on what independent reliable sources have written about the subject.
Not every organization, and not every organization with 501(c)(3) status (or its equivalent in other countries) is notable, and this draft does not establish organizational notability. You may ask for advice at the Teahouse.
See WP:Markup for how to mark section headings, and see WP:Layout for general information on the layout of articles. Section headings are delimited by equal signs (=), which are used to construct the table of contents of a page.
Please edit this draft as specified before resubmitting. You may ask for advice about formatting at the Teahouse. Robert McClenon (talk) 02:36, 16 January 2025 (UTC)
