THE NON-PROFIT SECTOR, CAUSING STAFF AND VOLUNTEERS
ALIKE TO SHUDDER AND MOAN. IMPORTANT PROGRAMS
ARE AT RISK BECAUSE TRADITIONAL FUNDING SOURCES ARE,
IN THE WAKE OF AN UNCERTAIN ECONOMY, NOT ABLE TO
SPREAD THEIR GOOD CHEER AS GENEROUSLY AS IN THE PAST.
To combat serious cutbacks in funding it’s necessary for all of us who value the role of the arts in a healthy society to, in effect, put our money where our mouth is. This year we all need to roll up our collective and figurative sleeves and push just a little bit harder.
It’s up to each of us to make that mean old Grinch go away. And we do that by fighting green with green – money versus the Grinch!
With apologies to Dr. Seuss, we must get rid of the Grinch!
How about it? Will you join the Anti-Grinch Squad? We truly do need
your green help! We need your generous
donations!
Leading the Anti-Grinch Squad is a generous benefactor who has promised to match your gift, dollar for dollar (up to a total of $5,000). Paula Spellman has been helping us capture history for quite a few years and we are delighted that she is providing this thoughtful and encouraging gift. Joining with Paula in the spirit of year-end philanthropy is the Board of Focus on the Masters. They have pledged an additional $5,000 in matching funds. That makes a total of $10,000 in possible matching funds!
And, if your heart (like the Grinch’s) is “two sizes too small,” here’s an added incentive: acclaimed glass artist Teal Rowe has graciously offered to present a beautiful, original work to the donor who has made the most generous contribution prior to December 31, 2007. Now that’s an incentive that is sure to turn the Grinch’s heart from stone to – well, beautiful glass! How can you possibly resist?
