What is IHAS?
* A nice suit you can put on, not a separate business person.
* Scaffolding
* Serving lowest common denominator

Fiscal Sponsorship
* Right now lots of chapters need it just to get free beer etc.
* Community foundations have guidelines with what they'll typically fund but they'll tell you no.
* You'd have to define in the governance what kinds of projects you want.
* Maybe chapters could submit grants?
* There are nonprofits that are set up just to do fiscal agencies.

* You have to state that it's a fiscal agent--define types of grants you're willing to make.
* Hard to cut checks to people outside of the state. Accounting liability. You HAVE to have an audit and that's expensive.
* Deana: It's kind of a nightmare. Lots of IRS stuff around giving.

Succession
* Create a task of the things you normally do?
* Should IHAS just be the thing that runs the Summit?

Constraints
* Nobody works on it full-time.

* Rotating chairs.

* What if all the chapters donate one of their monthly grants to IHAS?
* Could go towards a metagrant for revitalizing the city?
* Could be used for general funds for the chapters.
* Finding people to start chapters in target cities and bring them to the Summit?

IHAS Responsibilities
* Website - paying maintenance costs, improving the website
* Documentation -
* Communication -
* Summit

Projects
* Figuring out some kind of shared resources
* Call-to-action video: trustee, chapter, application
