2018 Accomplishments
Human Heroes is excited to share that in 2018, we opened our bank account and set up “Donate” buttons on our Facebook page and our website. Please be mindful that our website service uses Stripe which charges a fee (that does NOT go to the nonprofit or us personally), however Facebook waives the fees and sends the full donation amount to our nonprofit account. You are free to use whichever you prefer.
Using personal funds, we also trademarked our name with the USPTO! Unfortunately we had to deal with some legal issues over another nonprofit concerned about the single word “Heroes” in both of our names. Unfortunately, this was very stressful considering we are currently a small nonprofit with no means, energy, or finances to deal with a complicated and extensive legal matter. This also took time and energy that could have been contributed towards our holiday volunteer work.
Also at the time I thought of the name, it was an original idea and no other organizations or businesses appeared in the USPTO search results before we filed the trademark application. Eventually the other nonprofit repealed their opposition to our trademark name if we agreed to further specify the nature of our cause. The matter was resolved and we are now trademarked which protects our name, brand, and what we do!
