Funds

The Idea House Fund is piloted with Recovery Cafe, and this page is public notes on where the money goes, not an app. Fund operations like cycles, judging, and the bank account live in their own folder, separate from the studio's accounts.

It's incorporated as a 501(c)(3) charitable nonprofit in Washington State (EIN 42-4388998, August 2026), grown from the Evolve dictionary's Empathy Squared grant concept and Bunkhouse Industries idea, made real. Its purpose on file is in-kind micro-grants and material support to low-income individuals and entrepreneurial ventures. IRS tax-exempt recognition is a separate filing, still pending, so donations aren't deductible yet.

Grants are listed by ID number, never by name, since participants are navigating homelessness and the ledger stays that way on purpose.
