Exceeding Expectations:
Strategic Support Campaign

In today’s economy, strategic planning helps strengthen any entity, including our own. In an effort to not compromise the quality of our grantmaking in the future, we determined it vital to conduct an “Investors in the Vision: The Next 30 Years” strategic support campaign designed to build a strong operational base through 2012 and allow us to focus intently on future philanthropy rather than operational shortfalls. The campaign raised an annual $50,000 and consists of four-year pledges to underwrite our operational costs. It allows our Board and Staff to shift our focus from short-term to long-term goals.
