Party Fund Drive – become a sustainer now
The 2008 Party Fund Drive started May 1. A fund appeal letter is now at
the printer, and plans for internet fund raising are also in the works.
(OK, we won’t raise millions like some people have, but we might be
surprised!)
A main element of the Fund Drive, which goes from May 1 until
July 4, will be signing up new participants in the national Sustainer
program. This program has three aims:
1) to raise the amount that members contribute to the Party and press (the goal is a week’s income where possible);
2) to distribute that money uniformly (40% to the press, 40% to the national Party; %20 to the district Party);
3) to streamline and automate members’ contributions, who sign up to
have a set amount paid via credit or debit card every month, which
spreads out their total annual contributions evenly over the course of
the year.
Last year more than $60,000 came in via the national Sustainers, from
roughly 150 people – which shows the tremendous potential of the
program. Clubs and districts are encouraged to continue to reach
out to friends and supporters for contributions, and to hold local fund
raising events.
