Title
Resolution Recognizing Spirit's Legacy Fund as a Civic Nonprofit Organization Operating in Ann Arbor for the Purpose of Obtaining a Charitable Gaming License
Memorandum
To obtain a charitable gaming license under Michigan law, a nonprofit organization is required to submit a resolution from its local governing body recognizing it as a community-based organization.
Spirit's Legacy Fund is a 501(c)3 civic nonprofit organization that was created to ensure that an animal does not suffer from a curable medical condition due to a family's limited financial resources. By providing financial assistance, Spirit's Legacy Fund is able to comfort both the humans and animals and honor the spirit of that relationship.
Passage of the attached resolution will allow the Spirit's Legacy Fund to hold a raffle at a booth on Liberty Street during the 2016 Ann Arbor Art Fair, as well as at the Compassionate Care Animal Hospital, located at 2200 S. Main Street, in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Passage of this resolution is required in order to obtain final approval from the Charitable Gaming Division of the Bureau of State Lottery for this event and any future events.
