ok.

     Then I will let the families know we will not be in a position to
make an award until at least the spring, and once we get to the point
of soliciting new applications I will inquire with them whether they
still wish to be considered.  In the mean time Jen, can we have the
application page with FACTfamily disabled so I don't keep getting new
applications?

Hi Heidi,
I don’t think we’ll be in a position to give out any awards until the Spring.  It will take some time to get the new organization up and running and secure some initial funding.

Hi Nicole,

I would be interested in a board position as long I didn't need to travel to it physically. I could see doing the meetings as a webinar on the OS.

I am located in Big Flats NY, and have gone through the CIT process as well. I turned in my case presentation about a month ago.

I'm not sure if anyone still gets emails from this group, but I'm
going to start here and then contact people individually if I need to.
  As I mentioned to some of you early in the summer, my staff and I
have been playing around with the idea of taking over the scholarship
fund.  Jen Gerson asked me months ago if this is something I'd be
willing to do, and I've been thinking about how to best make it work.
  I believe this is an important issue and I'd like to see it flourish.

What I am prepared to do is form a non-profit here in Michigan (where
my clinic is located) so the scholarship fund is it's own entity.  I
have support staff who can work on the incorporation paperwork, etc.
I will make myself the incorporator and then form a board consisting
of parents, professionals, and other interested parties from within
and outside of the RDI community.  I have people involved with my
clinic who are interested, and I'm sure some of you are interested as
well.  I will also extend an invitation to some of my consultant
colleagues - not sure exactly how many people we will have involved on
the actual board...a detail to be worked out.

I am letting you all know this in order to get your feedback and
input.  I do not want to do this if those of you who started this
project are not supportive of it.  The fund can certainly remain a
part of FACT Family and you can run it the way you have been if that's
what you feel is best.  Please either post a response here or email me

Hi Everyone,
I just wanted to let you know that my staff and I have been kicking around the idea of stepping up to run the scholarship fund.  We’ve been thinking about it since Jen sent me an email a couple of weeks ago asking if I’d be interested in doing it.  It’s not something I could do on my own due to my already hectic schedule, but as a staff we feel we could do it.  One of the things we’d like to do, though, is consider setting up the fund as it’s own non-profit rather than running it through FACT Family.  I’m interested in people’s thoughts on this – both setting it up as it’s own entity and our clinic staff stepping up to run the fund.  
Thanks - Nicole

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 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 Everyone,
I just wanted to let you know that my staff and I have been kicking around the idea of stepping up to run the scholarship fund.  We’ve been thinking about it since Jen sent me an email a couple of weeks ago asking if I’d be interested in doing it.  It’s not something I could do on my own due to my already hectic schedule, but as a staff we feel we could do it.  One of the things we’d like to do, though, is consider setting up the fund as it’s own non-profit rather than running it through FACT Family.  I’m interested in people’s thoughts on this – both setting it up as it’s own entity and our clinic staff stepping up to run the fund.  
Thanks - Nicole

  I have tried to recruit Nicole to be a fundraising chairperson-- she definitely appears to have the talent for effective communication!  Have you guys subscribed to their newsletter?  Seems to be informative....  thanks so much to all who have given of their time to help get the scholarships going, take care, Jen

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

Just  wondering what the status is of the scholarship committee.  I  went on Fact family and you cannot apply,  as someone on a  board asked.

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

Hey guys

Just wondering what the status is of the scholarship committee.  I went on Fact family and you cannot apply,  as someone on a board asked.

 

BTW  I know Heidi and Penny are there,  but I started a board to help with the hole that MIdatlantic left....  join if you can!

Is there still a place to send contributions?  I have some proceeds of a promotion I ran for the scholarship fund that I have yet to post.  Rana

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?

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 came from last year?
was it the RDI conference? Is anyone from this group attending this
year?

I remember in the past people had thrown out all sorts of ideas for
fundraising, maybe those are still accessible in the archives for this
group.

I had just asked Jen about the financial state of the fund.  It seems
there is currently very little money.  As everyone probably knows Jen
is looking to relinquish her role and is not able to spearhead a
funding effort.  It looks like unless someone is willing to come
forward and take charge of fundraising we will not be able to offer
any more scholarships.  To date we have just over 20 applicants.  If
anyone out there is willing and able to get involved with fundraising
for the RDI scholarship fund, this is the time to speak up!
