>>>>> From Joanne Wilson:
>>>>>
>>>>> Dear NFB Affiliate Presidents,
>>>>>
>>>>> The National Federation of the Blind always steps up to get the job 
>>>>> done.
>>>>> Many affiliates are actively working to assist in finding new 
>>>>> financial
>>>>> support for our national movement and we have just launched a new 
>>>>> program
>>>>> that should allow each of our affiliates to make a difference. The 
>>>>> National
>>>>> Federation of the Blind has launched a vehicle donation program. The 
>>>>> vehicle
>>>>> donation program allows us to accept car donations anywhere in the 
>>>>> United
>>>>> States. Our national office and our affiliates have been turning car
>>>>> donations away because we have not had an effective program for 
>>>>> managing
>>>>> these donations and turning them into cash for the organization. We 
>>>>> have now
>>>>> solved this problem and we need your help to take advantage of this
>>>>> opportunity.
>>>>>
>>>>> After extensive research, the Federation has made an agreement with 
>>>>> Vehicles
>>>>> for Charity to process our car donations. Besides cars, we also accept 
>>>>> vans,
>>>>> RVs, motorcycles, dirt bikes, boats, trucks, and tractors.  However, 
>>>>> it is
>>>>> up to us to capture the donors by promoting the fact that we can 
>>>>> accept
>>>>> vehicle donations and finding creative ways to get the word out. TO 
>>>>> begin, I
>>>>> am asking you to take some immediate steps to help with this effort:
>>>>>
>>>>> 1. Spread the word in your affiliate that the NFB is now accepting
>>>>> vehicle donations. Encourage members to send all referrals to the page 
>>>>> on
>>>>> our website www.nfb.org/vehicledonations or to our toll free vehicle
>>>>> donation number 855-659-9314.
>>>>> 2. We will be creating some standard text for every affiliate to place
>>>>> on the front page of the affiliate's website. Please see that this 
>>>>> gets
>>>>> posted without delay.
>>>>> 3. Consider placing information in your newsletters and other
>>>>> publications.
>>>>> 4. Promote this in your social media channels.
>>>>> 5. Consider if there might be a member in your affiliate who is 
>>>>> looking
>>>>> for a new opportunity to contribute to the movement and whether or not 
>>>>> this
>>>>> program might be a good fit for their skill set. We need 
>>>>> Federationists who
>>>>> can find creative ways to get the word out and who will uncover
>>>>> opportunities to promote this in your state.
>>>>> 6. Share with me ideas you have about how we can get the word out 
>>>>> about
>>>>> this program.
>>>>>
>>>>>
>>>>> As we move into spring we will be building this program out in more 
>>>>> detail
>>>>> and providing more supporting materials. If you assign a member to 
>>>>> help
>>>>> promote this program, please send their name and contact information 
>>>>> to me
>>>>> so we can send them communications. We will be planning a conference 
>>>>> call
>>>>> soon to answer questions that people might have about the program and 
>>>>> share
>>>>> ideas for spreading the word.
>>>>>
>>>>> We are starting with the tried and true Federation local outreach to 
>>>>> get the
>>>>> word out. As we build success with this venture, we will have the 
>>>>> capacity
>>>>> to consider other forms of promotion such as advertising. Consider 
>>>>> this
>>>>> notion. If fifty one of our affiliates (unfortunately we cannot 
>>>>> operate the
>>>>> program in Puerto Rico) generates ten referrals with an average 
>>>>> donation
>>>>> value of $500 we are talking about better than $250,000. That is 
>>>>> easily
>>>>> within our capacity in 2013. Maryland has already generated one this 
>>>>> week
>>>>> and all we did was answer the phone and have the ability to say yes we 
>>>>> can
>>>>> take your donation rather than turning it away. Imagine what we can do 
>>>>> with
>>>>> some Federation creativity and enthusiasm.
>>>>> and if each of our affiliates generates 100 car donations per year, we 
>>>>> will
>>>>> have a tremendous base to build on.
>>>>>
>>>>> Let's start calling in the cars!
