Question

I have a snack food business that fits a niche, high-end market. I am passionate about community education. My idea is to use the profits from the business to fund the microschool. This model would also employ the parents of the students, and the focus demographic are those which are typically considered to be financially underserved. The school itself would be modeled on the Sudbury Democratic Schools. How would I be able to create a hybrid situation for funding? As in, can I use the profits from the cafe to fund the school, and is it possible to also apply for grants, as we would be revitalizing underserved communities, providing employment as well as educational opportunities directly to families. One idea I had was to collaborate with social services to offer this opportunity. In theory, the microschool would start with 5 families. Once the model is successful, we open another one, and keep "planting seeds" with this model across the US.

- Please consult with a CPA (Certified Public Accountant) and a lawyer.
- Also, you can (if you choose to) find a CPA who knows about the blockchain space. Particularly Decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs). https://www.investopedia.com/tech/what-dao/#:~:text=The%20developers%20of%20the%20DAO,anywhere%20in%20the%20world%20anonymously.
