With the support of the PR Chair, @anonymous_bosh, I’m putting out feelers for who would like to join a Fundraising SIG.
This will give us separate time (which I think we need) to focus in on fundraising efforts, specifically sponsorships, the already-approved wall plaque project, and Foundation (NOT government) grants already started by @Kevin.
We’ll be relying on people who are willing to do customer-facing requests for sponsors at local and national businesses as approved by @Team_PR and the BoD.
You don’t have to be a grant writer - maybe you know a restaurant manager, or a marketing manager at a company, or have something to donate to a silent auction.
We will be very careful to make sure we are tax-compliant to protect our non-profit status. I know this is a big concern for a lot of people, and it’s a top priority for this new SIG.
Thanks, and let’s raise some non-dues money for DMS!
