I am pretty sure that EAA EIN is what we use when we want to claim that we

I am pretty sure everyone's $35 dues is tax deductible donation right?

I kind of expected that it would be the EAA EIN if it existed at all.
Also, the qualification requirements for the grant weren’t clear about
whether the chapter could qualify as organizer or whether it had to be an
individual. We were always clear that the event was sponsored by KEVA.
As soon as we can get to the point of seeking local grants and financial
support, we will probably need to know if we can use the EAA EIN. I
suspect that for some who would provide money, the funds will need to be
funneled through the EAA account.

One note of clarification. KEVA does not have an EIN. The EAA has a EIN,
but I'm not sure if it could be used for an event like this. If/when this
comes up, I can check with the national office to find out. If there is an
out of pocket expense, if it is OK with the group, we can reimburse from
out local account.

Here are a couple of observations.
In previous years, the City of Knoxville has held an Earth Day event,
and Drive Electric Tennessee has hosted a Ride and Drive as part of it.
This year, the City of Knoxville has chosen not to host an Earth Day
event. DET is working with KUB about a R&D on April 21. (I think that’s
right.). Last year, a few KEVA members participated in the Y-12 Earth Day
Event. Due to DOE restrictions, no R&D was possible, but those of us who
were there showed our cars and talked with folks. KEVA has been invited to
participate again this year. I believe that’s on 4/22.
As to the grant last year, we were fortunate to get it. Grants were
awarded on a first come basis until the money ran out. We submitted our
application within a few hours of the announcement. There are several
things that are required starting with a suitable and safe location. Given
that we do not have a location identified, and assuming that grants will be
awarded in the same manner, the odds are against receiving one for Drive
Electric Earth Day. That’s not to say “Let’s not do it.” It’s just to be
realistic. We did not apply for the full $2500 potential since we would
have to spend the money first and be reimbursed. Given that the date for
awarding the grants was only a couple of weeks ahead of our event, it would
have been difficult to commit the full amount. In addition, we did not
have access to KEVA funds, so Susan and I chose to use our own, recognizing
that if we did not receive the grant, we would be responsible for the
expenses. The grant came with conditions that were not easily met at the
Whole Foods site (attendance estimates, numbers of ride and drives, and pre
and post surveys). In addition, we were not able to get KEVA’s EIN in a
timely manner, so the application was filed using Susan’s SSN. Susan
received a 1099 showing the funds, so I foresee a discussion with our
accountant when we file our taxes.
As we continue to improve our planning and execution of events, we
should gain enough lead time to take advantage of things like the
Plug-in-America grants with more ease. We’re in the window right now where
we should be looking for local grants to support the fall NDEW R&D
scheduled for October 3rd.

This seems right in line with Virginia’s work with Drive Electric
Tennessee. Have you touched base with her about it?
I’m sure if they need to find a space to host it we could find a City
location.

All,
I am forwarding the email below just so everyone is aware of this
opportunity, not because I’m saying we ought to apply.
I think this is similar to the grant Jack and Susan got for NDEW last
year – it is well worth it but requires a significant time commitment and
dedication.
