How we applied as a CIO
This conversation is with Erika Petrie, founder and CEO of Shades of Different. It is free to watch as Erika has kindly donated her time.
Course Content
This is an introductory level course.
In this lively video we talk to Erika Petrie, founder and CEO of the Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) Shades of Different. Erica has just been through the process of incorporating as a CIO and talks about what she and the other Trustees of Shades of Different went through.
Specifically, we asked Erika:
- What was the point at which you decided you wanted to become a charitable incorporated organisation and why was that?
- Can you describe the process of applying; what did you have to get ready?
- What did the Charity Commission say when they turned you down?
- What did you do before applying again?
The video is in an informal style and is 10 minutes long.
