Running a not-for-profit organization. It's a community center that is 100% free.
We have GED Prep course, ESL course, Computer course and Conflict Resolution
course. We also have social services for at risk families. Unfortunately, we don't
have enough room for much else. Would like to expand but that's gonna take help.
All of our services are 100% free of charge.
We receive gov't grants, but it's not nearly enough to cover the costs of paying
instructors, operating costs, etc. These grants don't come automatically either.
Black politicians talk a good game, but very few actually come through with
the support we need to keep our doors open. We have plenty of support in the
community though. Folks would rather just give donations rather than donate
time though. We need both.
We also get corporate sponsorship. But it's never enough to sustain more than
6 months at a time. And it's always in the form of free gifts for our students.
They sponsor a trip to Great Adventure or the NBA hall of fame, but won't come
through with a check for everyday supplies. We were able to get some computers
though (4 MACs)
Just recently created a MYSPACE page for the organization. Our friends list growing everyday and we get lots of positive feedback from people online who want to know how they can help out.
Would like to put a link on the page for donations. How do I go about doing this??
I'm thinking a PAYPAL link. But my account is in my name, not the company.
But how do I add a link??
Thanks in advance for any help
oh, and of course any donations to our organization are tax-deductible
