REQUEST FOR PERMISSION TO SOLICIT FUNDS / FOUNDATION FOR
PRESERVATION OF THE ELDERLY: Carol Keeler representing the
Foundation for the Preservation of the Elderly, requested Board
approval to solicit funds for the next two weekends in the City of
Carmel. Keeler stated her organization planned to open three homes
located in Indianapolis, Fort Wayne and a third, between Elkhart
and South Bend. Keeler stated her organization would cater to
elderly who did not belong in a nursing home, but were unable to
maintain their own home. Board members inquired about her
company's tax status regarding non-profit organizations. Keeler
stated she was in the process of applying for an "IT35" to secure
non-profit status through Spectum Financial Service who told her
the paperwork was almost completed and the process would take
approximately six weeks.
Story asked her why her organization solicited prior to Board
approval. Keeler stated she contacted Cindy Duncan in the Clerk-
Treasurer's office prior to soliciting and was informed a permit
was not necessary because she was not going door-to-door.
For the record, Keeler stated her organization was headquartered
in Elkhart at 2315 Cassopolis Street ~5 under the name Foundation
for the Preservation of America's Elderly.
By consensus of the Board, the request was denied due to lack of
non-profit status. Johnson stated Keeler could reapply when the
necessary not-for-profit status was obtained whereby her company
would then go through the required police check, a review by the
City Attorney and a final determination could be made regarding
safety of the solicitors in the intersections requested by the
petitioner.
