WESU E2020 Grant Opportunity
Money for programs to explore issues relevant to 2020 election
Thanks to everyone who has helped get us this far, especially those who have made their own donations
This drive has been tough one due to a few things: no matching gift, BM and board being spread thin w 80 anniversary stuff, and no big checks. BM thought 80th anniversary would create enough momentum but alas it has not
BM will publish the grand list of donors so folks can take stock and see who if their shows are represented
If your program has not brought in a donation, we’re asking you to go out of your way to make an effort to bring in at least one donation. That means think about all the people you know and identify 2-3 folks who are interested in your radio show and in a position to support your volunteer work here!
We need to make a concerted effort to raise the final $3500 remaining – It’s not enough to just left listeners know we need their support
Tell them how much money we still need to raise.
Tell them how successful you have or haven’t been in. “If I could just raise one donation in support of my program, it would go a long way towards helping ups close out the pledge drive”.
Let’s get a few new promos, specific to rallying our supporters to close out the drive.
BM will send one or two more emails to our stakeholders. Combined with our social media assets we can close this out soon, so we can focus on the good stuff!
