A few of you may not know this:
For the past few months a non-profit corporation has been in the works. Yes, a full-blown 501(c)(3). It's not easy creating a non-profit (thus the many months of reading I've been doing on the subject), as a matter of fact it's THE hardest organization to form. Sufficeth to say, I'm getting to know the IRS very well. My record is 2 hours and 3 minutes on hold with them.

But what does Knok do? This is the good part!
Knok Studios provides creative media for non-profits & other Christian charities.
It's as simple as that.
Knok's Board of Directors consist of Scott VanLant, John Skaanland, & Jerry Chevassus. As of tonight I've finished the last page of Knok's non-profit 501(c)(3) application, and my application is... 78 solid pages long! Next is to get together an application fee, then wait a few months for the IRS to grant Knok 501(c)(3) status.
This is extremely exciting: Essentially I can continue to do what God has given me skills to do, but now under the 'blessing' and financial protection of a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Down the road Knok may possibly hire employees, such as other Christian media artists who need a way to make a paycheck while pursuing what they're best at. (What better way to end this fantastic news but with a preposition?)
