Nitzot- A Charitable Campaign for Natan Maimes
Donation protected
Natan had a vision that was cut short, but with your help we can continue in his memory.
Over this past year, Natan had begun working on a Passion Project and was very intent on getting it up and running. His plan was to work with various artists to create a collection of works to sell and to direct his commission of those sales to various charities. He aptly named the project “Nitzot” which translates in Hebrew to “Spark”.
He wanted to create and cultivate a spark amongst artists that he could then ignite into a wildfire of good deeds.
We do not need art to do this; we can funnel our love for Natan into a powerful campaign to raise money for Nitzot in his honor.
To get started, this fundraising will be through GoFundMe, the same vehicle used to help bring Natan’s service dog, Travel, into his life. The hope is to use this campaign as a litmus test of sorts to determine if Nitzot can continue as a stand-alone Trust which will annually give to special organizations in his name.
From this campaign, a Board of Directors will be formed to determine and send donations to several of the Charities we know Natan was hoping to support through his original plan with Nitzot.
The money raised through this campaign will keep Natan’s giving spirit alive and make a huge impact to those who receive it. All donors will see each transaction and donation with complete transparency through constant communication. Additionally, the operating percentage that GoFundMe takes for each donation will be covered by a few of the Board members to ensure that all intended donations remain whole.
The world dimmed when Natan left it; please help keep Natan’s eternal SPARK going.
