Looking Out for the Little Guy

FS: What are your main methods of acquiring gifts from those sources?
SW: What’s unique about us is our board fully funds our operating expenses so that every dollar a donor gives us goes directly to helping young people. Our board members make a commitment when they come on that their fundraising efforts on our behalf will go toward the operating budget so that any amount of money the general donor, John Q. Public, submits to us goes toward the kids. They help open doors for major gifts and for individual donors. We are conducting what we’re calling C4C; it’s the Campaign 4 Children, and we’re trying to get some new revenue sources — new individual donors to give over a three-year period.
