Becoming a Nonprofit Organization

On September 2, 2025 the Bona Dea Project Inc was officially recognized by the State of Wisconsin DFI as a nonprofit organization! We immediately registered an EIN with the IRS, applied for 501(c)(3) status, and held our first Board of Directors meeting.

Director positions were appointed, bylaws were drafted and adopted, and plans for the future started taking shape.

You can read the meeting minutes from this introductory meeting here. Meeting minutes, financial reports, and other documents will continue to be made available to the public following each Board of Directors meeting, linked in a blog post that will outline that meeting’s topics of discussion.

We would like to thank the Village of Ridgeway Board of Trustees for your support as we got started, and for continuing to support our work as we grow stronger.
