Transparency
Where we actually stand today
We are a new organization, and we would rather be trusted than impressive. Everything on this page reflects our real, current status — nothing is published until an administrator has verified the underlying documentation.
Organizational status
Legal entity
In formation
Doing Big Things is currently being formed as a nonprofit organization. Tax-deductibility of gifts is not represented at this time.
Donations
Not yet accepting donations
We are not collecting money until our entity, banking and donor protections are properly in place. Any donation page you see elsewhere claiming to represent us is not ours.
EIN
Not yet issued
We will publish our EIN here as soon as it is issued and verified.
Marine response
Authorized-network coordination
Marine mammals and sea turtles require federal authorization we do not hold. We refer these cases to authorized stranding responders.
Permits, registrations and capabilities
Nothing verified yet
We have no verified permits, licenses or formal agency partnerships to publish at this time. This list will fill in as items are obtained and verified — and it will show items that are in progress or expired just as plainly as the ones that are current.
Our commitments
We don't claim what we don't hold
No implied permits, no implied government partnerships, no borrowed credibility.
We say when we can't help
A clear referral to the right authority is a better outcome than an unqualified response.
We document everything
Every case, decision and outcome is recorded so our work can be reviewed honestly.
We correct the record
If something on this site is wrong or out of date, tell us and we will fix it publicly.
