Hey, Kathy and Heidi and others. Sorry that I am just getting your posts (one of THOSE days at work). Kids finally in bed.
Last year, private donors donated over half of the money. The annual conference was also a big donor (thanks, Kathy), along with additional money from Mary Kay and a couple of other "corporate" donations.
I think it would be great to have an energetic fund-raising chairperson, who might come up with one or two events each year (? the T-shirt or stationary ideas, and/or some sort of national walk). I am floored by the amount of money national organizations like Autism Speaks raises (millions each year). Unfortunately, I lack the organizational skills and time to be such a person.... thanks, Jen
I could *advertise* this on the new group? I dont mind being *part* of the committee, but as far as fund raising, not sure what else could be done? Are we talking just writing letters to companies?
I would ditto the message by Heidi. I was hoping that another volunteer with some ability for fund raising, coupled with a bit of time (that nobody has!!) would step forward and help the fund out. Apparently, all of us are to our limit. I think that perhaps another group will need to be started to bring this forward, or start a new fund.
Thanks so much to all who have worked on this in the past. It is certainly not too late to keep it going if anyone is able to do so......
BTW, Kath's new group is fantastic. Hope to have more time for that in the future!!!!! take care, Jen

Hi Kathy, I think figuring out what needs to be done in terms of fundraising is part of what needs to be done :). Does anyone know where the bulk of the funds...
I think the annual conference I raised 500, and then there was a donor that I believe gave 2000?? I also donated from Mary Kay but that was like 70 dollars. ...

Sounds great...... are there any negatives as far as setting up our own non profit? I would think that would make it easier for us to raise money! And yes,...
Hey-- I had originally been counseled by Dr. G. to try to establish the fund thru Linda Andron's group because setting up a nonprofit was such a hassle. Don't...
