Overview
Open Arms for Jamaica ’s Future is a non profit organization dedicated to the children of Jamaica . Open Arms for Jamaica ’s Future came about from the willingness of a group of women, who had attachments to Jamaica and knew first hand the present need to help children of school age. Our goal is to raise enough funds to help one child from each Parish per school year. Children stay home from school for lack of transport, inability to pay tuition, lunch money, and other school supplies. The things most of us take for granted are maximum necessities for many.

introducing CHILD SUPPORT JAMAICA, the the company is design to assist single parent-Mothers in Jamaica collecting maintenance money ordered by the Court. this include several other service that is implemented in aid of the Children. Writing to you I need your guidance, CSJ was designed to be a business, but there is our first Board meeting and the majority of the board member suggested that it is best we go as a none profit organization.

Hello Joshua,
I amnot sure if you are in the US or Jamaica, but a non-profit cannot ber an LLC. A non-profit has to be registered as such. I suggest going to your state website for more specific information.
