ACN needs help with fundraising!

[Sheila]

Hi everyone -- I'm writing to request any of you who have experience in fundraising, or who can volunteer to help in our efforts, to please get in touch with me.

 

Our small grassroots group has grown into what you see today. (Our site had almost 4.5 MILLION hits last month!) But as you can see, most of what we offer is free--so we need to rely on donations.

We're very gratified that so many people are being helped. It's wonderful! But, our 501C3 nonprofit desperately needs funds. We need a new website, PR, networking, computer equipment and programs, and some part time staff.

 

We used to do fundraisers each year with a wonderful man who dedicated his Triathalon race to ACN, and that at least kept us afloat. But he has not been able to do that for the last few years. Things are very tight at present, and I am open to your ideas and advice.

 

I really hope some of you can find time to respond--or can pass this to someone you know.

 

Please send a PM or email me at Sheila@Latitudes.org . Thanks so much. Sheila

I don't know much about fundraising, but i can donate. I never even notice the home page "donate" option!

 

ACN has been my safe haven. It offeres me hope, support, sanity & invaluable information. My son is doing well largely due to this forum.

 

My deepest thank you to Sheila, Chemar & many others who keep this forum running!

Sheila,

 

I would be willing to use my marketing and coaching skills/certifications in anyway that would help the site.
