The Chamber Of Us
Fundraising Proposal - Initial Years
Introduction
Here is a preliminary proposal outlining our innovative fundraising strategy for 'The Chamber of Us.'
At the core of the strategy lies the concept of a "Champion Circle." This unique approach is designed to cultivate a community of dedicated supporters who will play a pivotal role in advancing our cause. Our reasoning is twofold - first we believe in the importance of building a coalition where individuals have the power of The Chamber and that in order to build such an coalition where everyone to can some ‘skin in the game’ and actively be contributing to a cause larger than all of us.
We envision the "Champion Circle" not just as a donor program but as an inclusive community of individuals who are passionate about fostering positive change. This community will serve as the cornerstone of our fundraising efforts, providing invaluable support as we work toward achieving our organization's objectives.
Throughout this proposal, you will find a detailed breakdown of our strategy, including tiered giving levels, the benefits of joining the "Champion Circle," and our approach to gift options. We believe this innovative approach will engage and inspire potential donors.
We invite you to thoroughly review and provide your insights on this proposal. Your feedback is essential, as this strategy will be presented for board approval. Feel free to leave comments directly on this webpage allowing us to move forward collectively.
Our aspiration is to inspire change, ignite hope, and create a world where every small effort counts. We look forward to your input and guidance as we embark on this journey.
