Rob Buccini called today to discuss office lease again. After talking with his people they determined that my idea of an in-kind contribution for the rent really doesn't work for them.
We decided the next best alternative would be for Buccini-Polin to make a $20,000 or $25,000 contribution to the Beau Biden Foundation now - prior to any lease commitment. That will allow the Foundation to negotiate a lease with BP at any time in the future. Ideally the lease will be in the ballpark of $10,000 per year with the first 3 months or so free so the first payment isn't due until January 2016.
I hope the Foundation board can approve an arrangement like this
