...Thank you, everyone, for all of the great ideas. <br />I continue to marvel at the ability of the internet to develop communities, facilitate networks, create friendships, and solve problems. <br />I have come to know each one of you by reading your journals, and I truly appreciate the time you have taken to respond to my dilema. You are all such busy and creative women!<br />I will let you know how my efforts to improve the programs here at Max Hayes pan out.marybethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07065222113190978754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6727344.post-1097526479199958972004-10-11T15:27:00.000-05:002004-10-11T15:27:00.000-05:00I haven't much in the way of fund-raising experien...I haven't much in the way of fund-raising experience, but I do have one small suggestion that might help. You could set up a wishlist on http://wishlist.craigslist.org/ or for more art stuff, at http://www.dickblick.com/wishlist/, so that people have an opportunity to buy you the actual supplies you need. I get the sense that people around here are suspicious of school taxes and levies and so on because they think it's being wasted; maybe if they can buy a specific, useable product, they would feel more inclined to give.ladygoathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07578156477101631580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6727344.post-1097265011868579552004-10-08T14:50:00.000-05:002004-10-08T14:50:00.000-05:00Great ideas Mary Beth, although the school-tax-pay...Great ideas Mary Beth, although the school-tax-paying part of me growls to think that I'm paying a lot of taxes (in a different part of the world, but with the same problems) but the schools and classrooms don't have what they need in the budget to do the job at hand.<br /><br />You're on the right road to fundraising though: clearly defined needs; carefully designated and prioritized ways to spend the money, both of which let you approach donors with things they can budget for and give. Without making it a tit for tat deal, think about what the donor will get out of it too beyond warm fuzzies and knowing they're being an active positive part of the community. They get some publicity and name attachment.<br /><br />As much as I'm a mac person -- try the Gates' foundation too - big companies with big budgets and a will to be out there in the public doing good things.Mary Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08557957050287019876noreply@blogger.com
