IDEA: Developing Funds in New Geographic Areas
Hey folks!
Just sitting here thinking of new ways to draw donors and develop funds in areas served by community foundations
- Develop a Young Philanthropists Circle Fund in those areas– It could consist of gifts from children, young professionals, etc.
- Develop an Entrepreneurs’ Giving Fund – For those outside of big business, this might be a great opportunity for entrepreneurs in our area to give back to the community. Perhaps working with the local Chamber might be helpful in identifying ways in which the foundation can partner with the business community in establishing funds for the communities they serve.
- Create Funds to include special industries in those areas The Realtors’ “Welcome Home” Fund (to which real estate companies and independent realtors would be encouraged to give) and The Contractors’ “Building the Community” Fund
creatively,
allyson
