Our adoption agency has set up a tax deductible donation account for us to help us raise some money for our adoption. We are very busy and don't really have the time, money or contacts to do the regular types of fundraisers - selling cookies, gift wrap, car washes etc.
The only problem now is to figure out how to advertise our new donation account....the more people we can email the information to, the more people who will contribute.
I think if people realize that $25 goes a long way when combined with other people's donations, more people will contribute. In the past when we sent out fundraising letters, people thought we were asking for hundreds of dollars. This system gives people options for donating - $25, $50, $100 and so on. It also generates a tax receipt for them.
For anyone reading my blog that could help with a few dollars, please check back here for the link. It should be up and running in 2 days or so. My agency is called Options 4 Adoption and their website is www.options4adoption.com
We are hoping to raise about $2000, but anything will help.
