throughout 48 states. These services would include legal services, consulting, marketing,
accounting, and fundraising.
Current locations being considered for this office building is Zionsville and Cheyenne, Wyoming.
The Collective would add 150 new employees in the next 5 years with an average wage of over
$41.00 per hour. The Collective would invest over $7,000,000 in a new build to suit
headquarters of an initial phase of 5,000 to 15,000 square feet – possibly as much as 30,000
square feet at full build-out.

recent growth. They represent 880 non-profit clients which tend to be below $10 million in
annual revenue. Mike Nelson, Board President of the Charitable Allies and a Zionsville

150 in six years. Many are working remotely, but they anticipate most employees being in the
