MARCHING TOWARD 100-GOAL – 67 CNL2 Subscribers Making it Real
To date, 67 people who support the direction of CNL2 have purchased a monthly ($7/month) or annual ($77, 12th month is free) subscription.
More are needed.
Subscriptions are the foundation of the revenue needed to build CNL2 into a great community asset. And they are deeply motivating to CNL2’s founders. Other sources of revenue for CNL2 are donations and grants.
CNL2 is a non-profit Washington Corporation. An application with the IRS for tax exempt status is pending.
We thank you.
