  2. Personal Fundraising • Empowered.org • Friends and family • Social media (Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, e-mailing, personal sites) • Biggest source of funding for Brooklyn College GMB chapter • Personal Connections • Religious institutions • Public figures • Local companies and businesses • Make Use of Own Talent and Skill • Tutoring, lessons, tournaments • Make suggested donations! • Personalized Goals • Set aside a certain amount of money to save per week • $5 per week: $5 x ~40 weeks = $200 • $1 per week: $1 x ~40 weeks = $40 • Saving up loose change

  3. Home Campus Fundraising • Limitation: Home campus club policies • Collaborating with Home Campus Clubs • Honors clubs • Relevant clubs (e.g. medical clubs, service clubs) • Suggestion methods: Admission price, drives, sales, joint events • Donation Bins (Supply Drives) • Places: Honors Lounges, Libraries, Departments • For inexpensive supplies (dental supplies, Ziploc bags, paper towels) and art and crafts supplies (for charlasand child care) • Helps reallocate funding • Need flyers! • Global Brigade Collaboration Status • Brooklyn College GB chapter - difficult • Hunter College GB chapter – possible, but awaiting rechartering • Outside Campus Events

  4. Macaulay Fundraising • Gastronomy Club*** • Gingerbread man competition • Aiming for two events during spring semester • Smoothie event • Movie Club – Jordan • Monthly (?) movie/film screenings • Admission/”ticket” charge: $5 suggested donations? • Macaulay Triplets*** • 3 concerts as of now (November, December, Spring) • Admission price: $10 suggested donation? • Musicians Collective • Other Macaulay clubs to collaborate with? • Reaching out to alumni/alumni affinity groups? • Global Brigade Shirts

  5. Macaulay Fundraising Suggestions Comment: We need fundraising events/activities to engage everyone, especially in our brigade. • Karaoke Night • Talent Show • Marathon/Race • Pledges • Jugua ($5 charge?) • Intro to Yoga • Can be done as a personal and home campus fundraiser also • Bowling Night • Raffles • Friendly competition events between GB chapters • GB Items • Calendars • Wristbands • Shirts • Food/bake sales • Panamanian bread (ojalda) • Candy canes • Homemade goods • GMB Party Night/International Night

  6. External Fundraising • Grants • Where? • May be difficult to get from large companies; seek small businesses? • Partnerships • NY Methodist Hospital • Status: Idea is being sent to chief-in-charge; awaiting response • Benefits: Hosting fundraising drives, advertising for physicians, medical supply donations (!!!), awesome collaboration of ALL GB chapters • In need ideas on how we can benefit them • Other hospitals? Private clinics? Health centers? • Connections • Public figures (e.g. local politicians) • Alumni (Macaulay and home campus honors) • Local businesses and companies (not only for grants, but even for items for events [e.g. for raffles]).

  7. Final Comments • Concern – INVOLVEMENT! (specifically from newcomers) • Possible solutions: • Incorporating group volunteer activities • Events/activities to engage everyone • Incentives? • Home Campus Fundraising • Assign campus representatives from officer board? • Set up fundraising events together in campus • Monthly meetings in home campus • Keep track of money (for Aleks) and attendance/involvement (for Geoff) • Money Distribution • Track attendance for events/activities and money fundraised • Final distribution based on involvement • Media for events (both in home campus and in Macaulay)
