Fundraising
• A spring drive & moves management event is in the planning phase.
• Contact Rebecca if you are interested in participating in the donor dinner/moves management.
• Bex to update FY26 sponsor benefits & giving levels for review
• Suggestions increasing ask amount, increasing sponsorship amount. Lower levels can read as a ceiling of need. Barrett says increase to $10,000 and include pledge option.
• Continue collecting “Why I give” response to inform what initiatives are popular. Bex will email recurring donors “why I give” form to share during spring drive
