Single-page summary of what only the owner can decide versus what the team can execute immediately.
| Decision | Why it matters | Status | Next action |
|---|---|---|---|
| Final legal entity name | Blocks formation packet finalization | Open | Choose final name |
| Third director or not | Affects governance setup and filing packet | Open | Confirm current board structure |
| Signatures on filing packet | Required for filing progression | Open | Review and sign final packet |
| Fiscal sponsor first vs direct nonprofit first | Determines funding/outreach sequence | Open | Pick speed-first or control-first path |
If speed matters most: use a fiscal sponsor first, begin outreach and grants faster.
If long-term control and clean structure matter most: finalize nonprofit formation first, then run directly.
