But support has not come as quickly as needed, and now the Warehouse Alliance is facing a crisis in funding that could see the building taken over by a bank and sold to developers in the very near future.
This GoFundMe drive has been set up to cover existing obligations as well as 6 months operating costs, with the primary commitments being
Stage 1: INSURANCE FUNDING Believe it or not the cost of insuring the operations of a bar full of inebriated peopleisfor a FRACTION of the cost of insuring a room full of kids watching a concert. It is insane.
Stage 2: PAST OPERATIONAL DEBT ABATEMENT
Catching up on various expenses still on the books from 2014 and the first 3 months of 2015
Stage 3: SIX MONTHS OPERATIONS COSTS
This will further stabilize the 501c3 and allow for strategic planning beyond 2015
Stage 4: IMPROVEMENTS AND PROGRAMS
We have a laundry list of upgrades to help with better implementation of our enhanced programs
