ReplyDeleteLook to the Gaslight Grill model for a working restaurant/jazz club. The music is underwritten by Dick Hock's non-profit organization.
ReplyDeleteHey man, Chris Robinson from OutsideInsideOut here. Thanks for putting the link up to the interview that Hunter did with me for the Black House site. Yeah, ended up being fairly long, but fun.
ReplyDelete3:08, how does a non-profit organization underwrite entertainment featured at a for-profit restaurant?

ReplyDeleteThis was a great one! Congratulations, Hunter and Black House. Hope to meet you Chris, in person someday... very interesting views and experiences.
Peace, Cb
Rick,
ReplyDeleteThe restaurant is a for profit business and the entertainment is funded by the non-profit corporation. You'd be shocked by how much is in that non-profit account. The information is public domain.
If you inherit or sell something for a large sum of money channel the funds into your own non-profit organization. Follow the non-profit bylaws, pay your self a salary to manage the non-profit.
You see this a lot with family non-profits. They hire family members to run them thus the hired family member always has a job.
Its a great concept because as long as the food and service is decent you're in good shape. The music budget comes from a completely different source. But Dick Hock runs both.
