SPECIAL FUNDRAISER NEWSLETTER – Will you help us help Crisfield?

January 18, 2017

To donate, download this form: GCAC Fundraiser 2018 – charts and donor form

Hello, good people,

As promised, I am sending you this newsletter as a Special Fundraiser Newsletter for the Greater Crisfield Action Coalition. This is only the second time we have asked for funds from the community of supporters since we formed in May 2015. We are all volunteers working with the limited funding we have put in ourselves or raised previously from individuals or organizations within the community. Right now we are in great need of funding for operations and grant writing. These are a priority in order to cover our basic costs and seek larger grant funding and other major funding opportunities.

In addition, although we have already raised funds for several projects for the 2018 Season, with your help we know we could have more projects ready before the season starts at the end of May. Everything we are doing or proposing aligns with our Five-Year Action Plan and our vision to make Crisfield “the #1 ‘unique’ tourist destination on the Eastern Shore.”
Below you will see three charts:

1. Projects Already Funded for the 2018 Season
2. General Funding Needed for the 2018
3. Specific Project Funding Need for 2018 Season

We are asking that you choose something you would like to contribute to, whether it be the General Fund for operations and grant assistance as noted in Chart II, or for specific projects as noted in Chart III. You can give as little at $10 or you can fund the entire amount for one thing or another. Any contribution you make will be greatly appreciated. You can also join with a group of friends. For example, if you and some of your friends want to put your money together, you could pay for some of the entertainment or one of the fireworks… You may also be in a position to get your company, church, or fraternal organization to make a donation… And you can also “pledge” a certain amount and let us know the date to expect it. That way we can mark something funded, knowing you have made a pledge and given a date for the funds to arrive. You can also offer your help as noted on the attached form.
Once you decide what you wish to give and what you want your donation to go toward, please fill out the attached form and mail it to us at:

We are a 501(c)(3) community development non-profit corporation, and your donation is tax deductible.
I *thank you* in advance for your help! I realized early on that God loves Crisfield as much as we do — actually MORE. I am certain He will bless you for helping us, regardless of the amount. And please know we thank you, thank you, thank you for your generosity and help!

Sincerely,
​
