Patachou Foundation and won’t stop

The Patachou Foundation was founded in 2013 by entrepreneur and restaurateur Martha Hoover. Won’t Stop (then Patachou, Inc.) seeded the Foundation with an initial gift.

The Patachou Foundation operates independently from Won’t Stop as a public charity 501(c)(3) under the direction of a board of directors. When Won’t Stop Inc. or any for-profit business uses the resources of The Patachou Foundation (meeting room, for example) they are charged a FMV fee for use.

The majority of The Patachou Foundation’s funding is from public sources other than Won’t Stop.

When Won’t Stop conducts in-location fundraisers for The Patachou Foundation, patron funds are given directly to The Patachou Foundation via a third party platform. Accounting professionals at both organizations oversee these transactions. Won’t Stop Inc. does not receive a tax deduction for any patron gifts.

Do you make grants?

The Patachou Foundation is a direct service organization supported by the public. It does not make grants to other organizations.
