[Cash-and-caring] FW: The Fundraising Articles You Read Most in 2012, GUIDESTAR e-zine

Thu Jan 3 16:25:25 UTC 2013

Happy New Year to all. I just got back to the office today after my Christmas vacation in snow-covered Minnesota so haven’t had time yet  to read this issue – see below.  The articles are often good for prompting ideas.

Cordially,

Lorraine Rovig
NATIONAL FEDERATION OF THE BLIND
      at Jernigan Place
200 East Wells Street, Baltimore, MD 21230
      Office:  (410) 659-9314, x2415
      E-mail:  lrovig at nfb.org
      Website:  www.nfb.org

P.S. Please text the word BLIND to 85944 to donate $10 to the NFB Imagination Fund via your phone bill.*

* The Text2Give program enables anyone with a cellular telephone to give us a $10 contribution by text message.  The 501c3 contributions will go to the NFB Imagination Fund, which supports the education, technology, and research projects of the NFB Jernigan Institute, as well as programs conducted by our 52 affiliates and over 700 local chapters of the Federation.  The Imagination Fund supports many innovative programs that, for example, encourage blind youth to participate in scientific careers and help seniors adjust to vision loss.
